HC Deb 08 December 1975 vol 902 c65W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what gross taxed income would be needed to make a man with £102 per week tax-free in the case of a single man, a married man, and a married man with 12 children.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The incomes required to give £102 a week income after tax would be £8,462, £8,120 and £6,311 respectively. In the third case it has been assumed that eight of the children are not over 11, three are over 11 but not over 16, and one is over 16 but in full-time education. Family allowances are included in the figure of income required.
