HC Deb 01 August 1947 vol 441 cc100-1W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish tables classifying incomes between earned and investment sources for any recent year, similar to those contained in Tables 21 (a) (b) and (c) of the 83rd Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue.

Mr. Dalton

Tables 21 (a) (b) and (c) of the 83rd Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue were obtained from a special analysis of the returns of taxpayers for 1937–38. No corresponding details are available for any later year but I regret that the necessary work could not be undertaken in the Inland Revenue Department at present.
