§ Mr. Bruce-Gardyneasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the estimated gross yield from the Selective Employment Tax to the latest available date; and by how much this yield fell short of the figure which would be required to produce the proportion of the Budget forecast of gross yield from this tax for the current financial year corresponding to the period to that date.
§ Mr. Callaghan£85.4 million has been paid into the Exchequer up to 15th October representing the estimated yield. It is too soon to attempt any comparison of the sort envisaged by the hon. Gentleman.
