§ 23. Mr. McKayasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the compulsory contributions made by a married man with average earnings of £3 9s. a week in 1938; what are the compulsory contributions in July, 1961, of a married man, including Income Tax, National Health Service, National Insurance, and Industrial Injuries; what is his average net income if he receives £14 10s. 9d. per week; how this net income compares with a net income of £3 7s. in 1938 plus the value of the rise in the cost of living, and what is the difference in actual current money value.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydThe compulsory weekly contributions for an employed married man aged between 18 and 70 without dependants were as follows:
criticism that there is insufficient British investment in education and in roads, compared with other choices in the public sector, to make an adequate contribution to longer-term growth.
§ Mr. Selwyn LloydWith regard to the second part of the Question, it is true that the Report posed a question with regard to investment in education and 93W roads. It also contains some exceedingly pertinent comments upon other matters. I believe that the Report merits very careful consideration, and I commend it to the attention of hon. Members. I understand that a copy is now available in the library of the House.
