§ Mr. R. A. ButlerThe available information, taken from Table 9 of "National Income and Expenditure 1946 to 1953" is given below, in a form comparable with that on page 15 of Cmd. 7933. I regret that it is not possible to give separate figures of wages and of salaries after tax. No distinction is now made between these two forms of income150W in the proceses of tax assessment and collection.
