HC Deb 17 January 1977 vol 924 cc46-7W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing what percentage of central Government revenues in 1950, 1960, 1970, 1975 and estimates for 1976 are derived from each of the following: taxes on income, taxes on expenditure and national insurance &c. contributions.

Mr. Denzil Davies

The available figures are given in the table below.

Mr. Watkinson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he distinguishes between individual and company outflows of capital.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I will let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.

Mr. Watkinson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what are the broad limitations on capital movements from the United Kingdom to: (a) EEC countries, (b) the Commonwealth and (c) the rest of the world.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

At the present time limitations on capital movements from the United Kingdom are broadly the same for all countries—except the Irish Republic, Gibraltar, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Apart from certain personal capital movements, United Kingdom exchange control does not generally permit capital to be remitted abroad in any way that places a net burden on the balance of payments.
