30. Mr. Temple

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many individual Income Tax payers there were in the United Kingdom, excluding Northern Ireland, in 1963–64; and of these how many had incomes below the rate at which the standard rate of Income Tax was not applied.

Mr. MacDermot

17,210,000 counting husbands and wives as one. Of these about 11 million were not liable at the standard rate on any part of their income.
