HC Deb 25 November 1969 vol 792 cc46-7W
Mr. Dickens

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table for 1968–69 comparable to that given for earlier years relating to expenses wholly, necessarily and exclusively incurred by Members in the performance of their parliamentary duties.

Dr. Winstanley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT tables, in similar form to tables previously published, showing the expenditure, wholly, necessarily and exclusively incurred by Members in the performance of their Parliamentary duties during the years 1967–68 and 1968–69.

Mr. Taverne

The table below, which is in similar form to those published on 28th January and 25th February [Vol. 776, c. 1096 and Vol. 778, c. 252–3] classifies the amounts of Members' expenses allowed for income tax purposes against their remuneration as Members of Parliament for the years 1967–68 and 1968–69. The table includes only those cases where final figures are available. Ministers have not been included.
