HC Deb 12 May 1978 vol 949 cc636-7W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the loss of revenue from income tax in 1978–79 if the same income tax rates and thresholds as operated in Germany applied in Great Britain; and what proportion this figure is of the estimated revenue from income tax in 1978–79.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I regret that an answer could be supplied only at a disproportionate cost.
