§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many income tax payers currently receive family income supplement.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonIt is estimated that during the 1975–76 tax year 38,000 families had incomes above the threshold at the time family income supplement was awarded. It is not known, however, whether they remained taxpayers throughout the year or how many families with income below the tax threshold at the time of claim subsequently became taxpayers.
