Lord VAIZEY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will bring up to date data in the Answer given on 12th December 1978 to his Question concerning taxation on personal income (Hansard, Vol 397, col. 402).

	Single People	Married Couples
	All	All	1 child	2 children	3 or more children
1977–78	29.8	70.2	12.6	14.9	7.1
