HC Deb 25 March 1981 vol 1 cc359-60W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the nature of the arrangements entered into some years ago for gas purchase which inhibit changes in the fuel oil duty referred to in his Budget Statement, Official Report, 10 March, col. 776–777.

The additional work arising in 1981–82 from the increase in the numbers of both basic and higher rate taxpayers, and from certain other changes in the Budget, will be entirely offset by savings, including some arising—because of the non-indexation of personal allowances—from the removal of any need for a PAYE recoding. Overall, no additional staff will be needed in 1981–82.
