asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what tax relief a man would receive on the 4s. 11d. per week paid towards pensions under the National Insurance Fund if his income entirely earned was £5,000 and he was married with no children; how much the tax relief would be for a married man with no children if his sole income was £5,000 unearned, the annual amount of tax relief and the weekly amount to be given in each case; and how much the tax relief would be in the case of a man with an earned income of £8,000 and of a man with £8,000, unearned, respectively.
