HC Deb 28 June 1979 vol 969 c319W
Mr. Kaufman

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer pursuant to his answer on 21 June to the right hon. Member for Manchester, Ardwick, whether the 240,000 taxpayers benefiting from the reduction of the maximum rate 60 per cent. are entirely subsumed within the 1,110,000 benefiting from the increase in the starting point of the higher rates to £10,000; whether they are entirely additional to them, bringing the total in the two categories to 1,350,000, or whether there is a partial overlap; and in which case what is the total for the two combined.

Mr. Peter Rees

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