HC Deb 25 February 1977 vol 926 c747W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his latest estimate of the number of working families who are below the tax threshold; and how many of these are families with children.

Mr. Orme

I have been asked to reply.

Data from the 1975 Family Expenditure Survey are being analysed in order to make estimates for that year, and I will write to the hon. Member when the calculations are completed.
