HC Deb 07 November 1977 vol 938 cc38-9W
Mr. Ridley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what increase in real personal disposable income will be entailed by the forecast he published on 26th October.

Mr. Denzil Davies :

The path of real personal disposable income will be affected considerably by the timing of direct tax reductions. Between the calendar years 1977 and 1978 a rise in real personal disposable income of about 3 per cent. would be consistent with the published forecasts.
