Mr. David Price

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what increase would have to be made in the basic rate of income tax in order to raise £586 million extra revenue in the year 1974–75.

Dr. Gilbert

At 1974–75 levels of income it is estimated that it would be necessary to increase the basic rate of income tax by about 2p.
