19. Mr. Edward M. Taylorasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what amount he now estimates will be raised in taxation in the year 1967–68.
§ Mr. Harold LeverI must ask the hon. Gentleman to await the revised estimates which will be published in the Financial Statement.
Mr. TaylorWould the Financial Secretary agree that the burden of taxation under this Government has become quite intolerable and is stifling initiative and enterprise? Will he ask his right hon. Friend seriously to refute that taxation must go up again in March?
§ Mr. LeverThe hon. Member's supplementary question, I fear, bears little relation to his main Question. I take it that he was not asking for a specific answer to his rhetoric.
