HC Deb 25 February 1960 vol 618 c71W
Mr. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the gross figure needed to be earned by a man, claiming normal allowances for a wife and three children, to ensure a net return, after paying Income Tax and Surtax, of £591,000 per annum.

Sir E. Boyle

The figure for which the hon. Member asks appears to be purely hypothetical, and I see no useful purpose in providing it.
