§ Mr. Blakerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of the Selective Employment Tax collected in the Blackpool Employment Exchange area he estimates will be returned in the form of refunds and premiums; and what is the percentage for England as a whole.
§ Mr. DiamondRefunds and premiums, as a percentage of the total tax collected, are estimated at just under 80 per cent. for England as a whole. No estimate can be made in respect of Blackpool, since figures for Employment Exchange areas do not distinguish between the relevant categories.
