§ Sir Brandon Rhys Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much he estimates that the income tax base will be reduced in 1981–82 as a result of the income tax allowances, reliefs and exemptions listed in the public expenditure White Paper, Cmnd. 8175, table 4–14; and what would be the income tax base if these allowances were abolished.
§ Mr. RidleyI shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
§ Sir Brandon Rhys Williamsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, further to his reply to the hon. Member for Kensington, Official Report, 25 January, col. 227, if he will now publish similar figures for 1981–82 incomes, taking account also of (a) employees' national insurance 324W contributions and (b) employees' and employers' national insurance contributions and the national insurance surcharge.
§ Mr. RidleyI regret that the information is not available on which to base an analysis of national insurance contributions and surcharge in terms of annual total income.
