HC Deb 15 July 1971 vol 821 c147W
Mr. Lamond

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the basis of the latest information available to him, what percentage drop he now calculates will occur in the cost-of-living index as a result of halving selective employment tax.

Mr. Higgins

The variables are such that I do not think that I could usefully make a quantitative estimate.
