asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish in the Official Report a further correction to the Written Answer by Lord McIntosh of Haringey on 23 October (WA 30) showing the top rate of direct tax on personal incomes in the United Kingdom for each year from 1970–71 to 1999–2000, with reference to the first three years of the series. [HL4762]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

A revised version of the table given in my reply to the noble Lord of 16 November (WA 46–48) is given below:

reveals financial support for the European Movement in 1999, whether they stand by the Written Answer from Lord McIntosh of Haringey on 28 July (WA 113) [HL4671]

Lord McIntosh of Haringey

I very much regret that my earlier Answer was incomplete.

The European Movement receives financial support from budget line B3-301 of the EC budget. It is within the remit of the Commission to decide the criteria for the targeting of such funds.

asked Her Majesty's Government:
