HC Deb 08 March 1968 vol 760 c190W
Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that in 1964 10 per cent. of the population obtained 30 per cent. of the total personal income; and what is the present ratio.

Mr. Harold Lever

I cannot readily identify the figures quoted by the hon. Member, but they correspond closely with the figures for distribution of incomes before tax in 1964 and 1965 in Table 26 of the National Income Blue Book, I regret that information is not available for a year later than 1965.
