HC Deb 15 June 1981 vol 6 c240W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is possible to make an estimate for 1980–81 of the combined value of (a) wages and salaries, (b) income from self-employment, and (c) rent, dividends and net interest.

Mr. Peter Rees

Complete estimates are not yet available for these items for the final quarter of the financial year 1980–81. Details of the components of personal sector income will be published in the regular quarterly press notice—personal income, expenditure and saving and company profits in the first quarter of 1981—due to be released by the Central Statistical Office on 6 July. However, on a provisional basis, total personal income from wages and salaries, income from self-employment, rent, dividends and net interest in the financial year 1980–81 is estimated at £159 billion.
