Dr. John A. Cunningham

mendations, resulting from the increases in wages proposed, taking into account the effect of income tax, national insurance contributions and changes in entitlement to social benefits, including family allowances and family income supplement over a standard range of family sizes.

Mr. Higgins

Following is the information.

the value of the investment allowances in all development areas from October, 1970, to October, 1971; and what were the figures for Scotland, Wales and the Northern Region.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I assume that the hon. Member is referring to the capital allowances given for tax purposes. Information on the value of these allowances for the period in question will not begin to become available until the end of this year. I am afraid that it is not possible to distinguish the figures for individual development areas.
