HC Deb 22 December 1988 vol 144 cc414-5W
Mr. Nigel Griffiths

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give total investment income by region for each year from 1979 to 1987 with projections for 1988.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The available information covers tax units with income above the pay-as-you-earn threshold. It relates to years ended 5 April up to 1987: projections to later years are not made for regions. Only the investment income in the records of tax offices is covered in the table: where liability at basic rate is satisfied at source, the tax office may have no record of the income.
