§ Dr. GilbertIn order to raise the same revenue as is received from total rates in England and Wales from income tax on persons it would be necessary at 1974–75 levels of rates and incomes to increase the basic rate of tax—which applies to the United Kingdom as a whole—from 33 per cent. to about 43 per cent.
