LOWER-INCOME GROUPS (MARGINAL TAX RATES)

HC Deb 25 January 1972 vol 829 cc415-6W

Q10. Mr. Meacher

asked the Prime Minister if he is satisfied with the coordination between the Department of Health and Social Security and the Department of Employment regarding marginal tax rates for lower-income groups; and if he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

Yes. All Departments concerned with policies which are designed to give help on a selective basis consult closely together about any implications for the marginal net return on increased gross earnings.
