§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate for the current tax year and for 1975–76 the revenue forgone by no surcharge being levied on the first £1,000 of maintenance payments received, and the percentage of this which is at higher rates of tax.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonI regret that the information on which to base an exact estimate is not available, but the cost is likely to be small.
