§ 44. Brigadier Clarkeasked the Joint Under-Secretary of State for Education and Science, as representing the Minister of Technology, how much it will cost his Department, both this year and in a full year, to pay the employers' National Insurance and additional tax on hydrocarbon oils.
§ Mr. BoydenThe estimated cost for the financial year 1965–66 for the increase in employers' National Insurance Rates is £44,000 and for the additional tax on162W hydrocarbon oils, £1,000. The cost in the current year depends on the date of coming into operation of the Ministry, and hence on the Science and Technology Bill at present before the House.
