§ 21. Mr. MITCHESONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can furnish an estimate of the number of persons assessed to Income Tax in respect of the year just ended and how many of those assessed were relieved of any payment of Income Tax as a result of the various allowances?
§ Mr. HORE-BELISHAMy hon. Friend will find figures for the year 1932–33 in Table 43 on page 66 of the recently published 76th Annual Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue (Command Paper 4456). The corresponding figures for the year 1933–34 will not be available for some time, but it is not expected that they will show any considerable variation from the estimated figures for the year 1932–33.
