HC Deb 13 February 1976 vol 905 cc408-9W
Sir B. Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing the net income after tax of single people, couples without children and of couples with one, two and three children, assuming income all earned by one earner in each family over a standard range, including the current national average weekly earnings.

Mr. Robert Sheldon,

pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 10th February 1976; Vol. 905, c. 131–2], gave the following information:

Assuming that the children are not over 11 years of age, the figures for 1975–76 are as shown in the table below.

The income figure of £3,480 is an estimate of the average earnings of full-time males, manual and non-manual, in all industries at November 1975, obtained by applying the index of average earnings at November 1975 to the New Earnings Survey estimate of average earnings for April 1975.

Income includes family allowances where there is more than one child, and clawback has been taken into account in the calculations.
