asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to his reply to the hon. Member for Norfolk, North, Official Report, 13th July 1977, column 166–7, if he will now publish figures comparing tax thresholds as proposed in his statement on 15th July with the new family income supplement entitlement levels and with the new supplementary benefit levels including an element for rent and rates due to be introduced in November next, for each of a single person, a married couple, and a married couple with each of one, two, three and four children; and if he will include within the figures for tax thresholds, where there are dependent children, the relevant value of tax-free child benefit.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
