Mr. Gresham Cookeasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much it would cost if the minimum personal income figure on which tax is charged was raised to £500.
§ Mr. BarberAbout £155 million. The estimate has been made on the assumption that where a wife is earning, both the husband and the wife would get the concession and that there would be a marginal provision for incomes just above f 500 with a fraction of eleven-twentieths.
