HC Deb 04 February 1974 vol 868 c248W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the tax revenue to be derived from the taxation of sickness, unemployment and supplementary benefits, at present exempt from tax.

Mr. Nott

As regards sickness and unemployment benefit, there is no information available which would enable me to amend the figure of £160 million previously given to my hon. Friend. It is not possible to estimate the yield of making supplementary benefit liable to tax.
