HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 cc949-50W
Mr. WILSON-FOX

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will present a Return showing, year by year for the last ten years as nearly as can be ascertained or estimated, what have been the aggregate savings respectively of the Income Tax paying and the non-Income Tax paying classes of the community, having regard to the vital necessity of considering in connection with any proposals for taxation to what extent such proposals, if adopted, may have the effect of endan- gering the supply of that fresh capital which is required to be provided annually from savings if the home and foreign productive enterprises of the country are to be maintained in an efficient condition?

Mr. BALDWIN

My right hon. Friend has no material for framing officially such an estimate as my hon. Friend desires.
