HC Deb 01 April 1960 vol 620 c174W
Mr. John Hall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what earned income would be needed today by a married man with two children between the ages of 12 and 16 years to equal earned income in 1951 of £1,000, and £2,000, respectively.

Sir E. Boyle

For such a person earned incomes of £1,150 and £2,250 at present would have about the same purchasing power after the payment of tax as £1,000 and £2,000 in 1951.
