HC Deb 04 February 1974 vol 868 c249W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of those 250 persons found last year to have been evading taxes to the extent of more than £10,000 in each case, what was the breakdown between these cases according to which taxes were involved; how many were earning, respectively, less than £2,000 per year, £2,000 to £5,000, and over £5,000 per year; how many were employees, self-employed, employers, pensioners or others; how many were, respectively, prosecuted, convicted, fined or otherwise penalised; and what was the level of fine in each case.

Mr. Nott

The information could not be produced without a disproportionate expenditure of time and effort.
