HC Deb 04 November 1980 vol 991 c537W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish figures showing tax thresholds and tax break-even points for each of a single person, a married couple (single and two-wage) and couples with each of two and four children, as percentages of estimated average male manual earnings in 1980–81.

Mr. Peter Rees

I regret that average earnings figures for October 1980, which would be needed to give a reasonable estimate of the average for 1980–81, will not be available until December 1980.
