§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table of figures sufficient to enable a graph to be constructed, showing for a taxpayer with no unearned income and with only child and personal allowances, the gross income and the change in income between 1967–68 and 1968–69 resulting from the increased family allowances and reduced Income Tax allowances for children, for families with two, three, four, and five children, respectively, up to a maximum gross income of £3,000.

§ Mr. Harold LeverIf the net benefit (i.e. the increase in family allowances less the increase in tax) is plotted against the gross earnings for the points given in the table below, the straight lines joining neighbouring points, with horizontal lines at the ends, give the graph required for each family circumstance.
