§ Mr. Ralph Howellasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will compare, for a single householder, a married couple and a married man with one, two, three and four children, the supplementary benefit entitlement, including rebates, if the rent is £6 per week and the rates £2 per week, with the appropriate income tax threshold in November 1960, 1965, 1970, 1974, and 1975.
§ Mr. O'MalleyI have been asked to reply.
The information is as follows:
§ Mr. DellCompanies which are accepted as resident abroad both for taxation purposes—for example, have obtained permission under Section 482 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970—and for exchange control purposes may apply to the Treasury for exemptions from the current regulations. Their applications 83W will be considered in the same way as those made under paragraphs 11 to 20 of Section III, Cmnd. 5444, which constitutes the basis on which the Treasury has dealt with all special cases since 1st November 1973. This technical point does not affect either the current policy on dividend limitation or its application.
