§ Mr. DiamondMost of the increase was attributable to a £65 million rise in the residuary share of the reserved taxes attributable to Northern Ireland. This reflected the general increase between the two years in the yield of Income Tax, Customs and Excise Duty and other reserved taxes. The balance was attributable to payments under the Social Services Agreement being £3 million higher in the later year than in the earlier one, and to loans of £16 million being made to the Northern Ireland government in 1965–66.
§ Mr. Fittasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give the detailed figures, under the major headings, of payments made by the British Exchequer to Northern Ireland in each year between 1959–60 and 1965–66.
