HC Deb 25 January 1974 vol 867 c382W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will revise the national income accounts so that they clearly distinguish the income of persons from the income of charities and nonprofit-making bodies.

Mr. Nott

The Central Statistical Office has under review the action necessary to produce separate estimates relating to charities and other non-profit-making bodies. Substantial professional resources will be required to develop satisfactory methods of estimation without adding greatly to form-filling burdens, and there are many competing claims for the available resources. It may take some time, therefore, before reasonably reliable estimates can be compiled.
