Sir J. MARRIOTT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the number of persons assessed to Income Tax during the year ending 31st March, 1924, or the latest available period; and the number of those who paid Income Tax?

Mr SNOWDEN

The number of individuals in Great Britain and Northern Ireland with incomes above the exemption limit for the year 1923–24 is provisionally estimated at 4,700,000, of whom it is estimated that 2,500,000 will actually pay Income Tax.
