HC Deb 21 December 1964 vol 704 cc170-1W

Brigadier Clarke

asked the Minister of Health how much will be added to his Estimates both for this year and in a full year to pay for the increased National Health stamp charge and increased duty on hydrocarbon oils.

Mr. K. Robinson

For National Insurance contributions 1964–65 nil, 1965–66 £4,100,000. There is no increase in the National Health contribution.

The effect of the increased duty on hydrocarbon oils cannot be separately identified, but it will not be large.
