HC Deb 06 December 1977 vol 940 cc697-8W
Mr. Carmichael

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will show the latest available international comparisons of (a) mix of direct and indirect taxation and (b) mix of central, intermediate and local government taxation giving where possible the yields.

Mr. Denzil Davies

The latest information, relating to 1975, is shown in 1977 by the monthly inflow of average earnings.

For the first three years it has been assumed that the employee was not contracted out of the graduated pension scheme.
