§ Mr. John Stradling Thomasasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much tax was paid on profits by the private sector of British industry between 1947–48 and 1974–75, inclusive.
§ Mr. Denzil DaviesI regret that information is not available in the precise form requested. Payments of taxes on income by the company sector are shown in Table 32 of "National Income and Expenditure 1964–74" and Table 56 gives what details are available for payments of tax by types of income and sector: similar information for earlier years is available in previous editions. Details of Schedule D income tax and corporation tax assessed rather than paid can be found in Tables 10 and 24 of Inland Revenue Statistics 1975.
