§ Mr. RookerTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the numbers of additional income tax payers in 1994–95 compared to 1992–93 as a result of freezing the rate of personal allowance in two years; and how much extra income tax will be raised as a result.
§ Mr. DorrellCompared with indexing the 1992–93 personal allowance to 1994–95 levels by reference to the statutory formula, the revenue yield from the measures in the last two Budgets is £1.1 billion and about 400,000 more people will pay tax.
