Mr. Gunter

The latest figures of average weekly earnings in manufacturing and certain other industries are for April, 1965, when the average weekly earnings of adult male manual workers were 378s. 2d. The amount of tax deducted under Pay As You Earn depends upon the personal circumstances of the tax-payer and the average deduction for those covered by the Ministry's inquiry is not known.
