§ Mr. Emrys Hughesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much per week, in the new financial year, a family of man, wife and three children will pay in taxation for housing, education and defence, respectively.
§ Sir S. CrippsIt is quite impossible to say how much a particular family contributes as the amount of taxation paid will depend upon many factors but the average estimated weekly cost, per head of the population, is, for defence 5s. 11d., and for the cost of education and housing in the Budget (including, in each case, below the line issues to local authorities) 2s. and 2s. Id. respectively.
