HC Deb 24 November 1970 vol 807 c64W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in his forthcoming Budget, he will propose that all taxpayers should have their taxes reduced by the same amounts or percentages, with a preferential adjustment to the lower taxpayer where this cannot be properly arranged, in view of the disparity between the percentage reliefs offered to a couple earning £600 per annum and a person earning £100,000 per annum in his latest proposals.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement.
