HC Deb 30 April 1934 vol 289 cc33-4
55. Lieut.-Colonel GAULT

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the estimated national revenue and the numbers of Income Tax and Surtax payers for the years 1929, 1931, 1932, 1933, and 1934, respectively?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

My hon. and gallant Friend will find the latest available information for past years of the receipt of Income Tax and Surtax and the numbers of persons assessed to the tax in Tables 36, 43, 52 and 56 of the recently published 76th Annual Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue (Command Paper No. 4456).

Mr. H. WILLIAMS

Can the hon. Gentleman give an answer to the first part of the question?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I have done so by saying that the latest available information is contained in the documents to which I have referred the hon. Member.

Mr. WILLIAMS

As there is no information whatever in those documents as to the estimated national income, will the hon. Gentleman answer the first part of the question?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

If that information is lacking, or is not accessible, I shall be only too happy to supply it.
