HC Deb 09 June 1972 vol 838 c174W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much on average each surtax payer will gain from his increases in the personal allowances and in the surtax threshold.

Mr. Nott

About £52 income tax and just under £30 surtax. The latter figure covers 135,000 exempted from surtax by the change, 75,000 who will pay less and 280,000 whose surtax bill will not be changed.
