§ Mr. Barnettasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give, at the latest date for which the information is available, the number of persons with net capital over £2,000, £5,000, £10,000, £20,000, £25,000, £50,000, £100,000, £250,000, £500,000, £1 million, £5 million and £10 million.
§ Mr. CallaghanThe estimated numbers with net capital in 1965 are as follows:
£ over 2,000 7,500,000 5,000 3,000,000 10,000 1,200,000 20,000 500,000 25,000 400,000 50,000 150,000 100,000 50,000 250,000 10,000 500,000 2,000 1,000,000 200 The available statistics are not adequate to support estimates of the numbers with net capital over £5 million and £10 million. The above estimates are based on the Estate Duty statistics, are subject to wide margins of error and therefore have been rounded, so that the difference between any two does not necessarily give the best estimate of the number in a range.
