HC Deb 14 April 1970 vol 799 cc205-6W
49. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give an assurance that he will reduce the overall burden of taxation in his Budget so that the estimated amount to be taken in taxation in the current financial year will not exceed the sum taken in 1964–65 at constant prices; and what reduction is needed to achieve this.

Mr. Taverne

The hon. Gentleman must await my right hon. Friend's Budget Statement.
