HC Deb 25 June 1980 vol 987 cc203-4W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) if he will publish a table showing tax thresholds and tax break-even points for each of a single person, a single wage married couple, and single wage couples with each of two and four children, including teenage children, as percentages of average male manual earnings, for each year since 1949–50, including an estimate for the first months of 1980–81;

(2) if he will publish a table showing tax thresholds and tax break-even points for each of a single person, a married couple, single and two wages, and a couple with each of two and four children, including teenage children, at current and at constant prices, for each five years since 1949–50, and for each year since 1974–75.

Mr. Peter Rees

In an answer to an earlier question from my hon. Friend on 19 March 1980—[Vol. 980, c. 221–6]—I promised to send him additional information if this was to be published in the annual volume "Inland Revnue Statistics." The proofs of the publication are now available and I am sending him the information. The volume will be available in the Library when it is published.
