HC Deb 06 November 1945 vol 415 cc1244-5W
Mr. Piratin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the number of persons liable to Surtax and the total amount of unearned income in each of the income groups from £2,500 to £5,000, from £5,000 to £10,000, from £10,000 to £25,000, from £25,000 to £50,000, from £50,000 to £100,000, and over £100,000, respectively, in respect of the last completed financial year.

Mr. Dalton

This information is not available. The hon. Member will, however, find an analysis of incomes for the year 1942 into broad income ranges in Table 25 of this year's White Paper on the National Income and Expenditure (Cmd. 6623), but the statistics of the Table cannot be divided as between earned and investment income.
