§ 4. Mr. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an assurance that the poster summarising the Budget in simple visual terms for distribution to factories etc., will be on a factual basis and not of a party political propaganda nature.
§ Mr. P. Thorneycroft:Yes. The poster will be on the lines adopted in 1950, and followed every year since.
§ 5. Mr. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in his poster summarising the Budget in simple visual terms for circulation to factories, etc., he will arrange for this to show specimens of the reduction in taxes for those in receipt of incomes of £10,000, £5,000, £1,000, and £400 per annum, respectively, and the percentage of people who have benefited in each of these income groups.
§ Mr. P. Thorneycroft:No. The purpose of the poster is to show the main sources of revenue and the main heads of expenditure proposed for the financial year.
