Mr. Hal Miller

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the cost in terms of revenue forgone per annum of the tax reductions introduced since May 1979 and if he will list those reductions.

[pursuant to his reply, 25 July 1983, c. 311]: I refer my hon. Friend to estimates published in successive Financial Statements and Budget Reports—table 16 for 1979–80, table 2 for 1980–81, 1981–82 and 1982–83, and table 4.2 for 1983–84; and to part 4 of the autumn statement, 1982—as regards the reduction in national insurance surcharge from April 1983.
