Mr. Driberg

asked the Secretary to the Treasury what is the present average daily sale of HANSARD; how this compares with the average daily sale in the last three months of 1945, in 1946, 1950, 1951, 1955, and 1960; and how many copies of HANSARD, Volume 679, No. 127, have been sold so far.

with two children under eleven. Marginal rates for 1961 for Central Government taxes are also shown for comparable cases in the other countries named in the Question. In arriving at these figures no account has been taken of local or state taxes on income. The same rates of tax do not necessarily apply to incomes earned in trades or professions. The figures for Italy are approximate only.

Mr. Barber
