HC Deb 23 May 1974 vol 874 cc249-50W
Mr. George

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the number of poor families who have a marginal tax rate—combining tax and loss of social benefits—in excess of 50 per cent.; and if she will break this number down according to the gross weekly earnings of the families concerned.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

I am sorry that it has not so far been possible to obtain this information but I will publish it in the OFFICIAL REPORT as soon as possible.
