HC Deb 02 May 1961 vol 639 cc1099-100
2. Mr. Boyden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what will be the approximate total amounts accruing to the following classes of Surtax payers as a result of the new Surtax relief, namely, Government scientists, scientists employed in industry, business executives directly concerned with export trades, other business executives, teachers, and university staffs.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

This information is not available.

Mr. Boyden

If the right hon. and learned Gentleman does not know these facts, how does he think that his Budget proposals will encourage the development of scientific achievement and the export trade?

Mr. Lloyd

The hon. Gentleman's Question contains a comprehensive list, but information is not available dividing each category from the other. I think that the generality are all affected by my proposals.
