Taxation Reductions

HC Deb 24 May 1973 vol 857 c108W

24. Mr. Moate

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount by which taxation has been reduced since June 1970.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

If the rates of tax in force at the date of the last General Election were still in force today, the British people would be paying well over £4,000 million a year more tax.
