HC Deb 27 July 1983 vol 46 c450W
Sir Brandon Rhys Williams

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many manual entries are now required to be made each week in the administration of pay-as-you-earn in the Department of the Inland Revenue.

Mr. Ridley

The Inland Revenue does not keep records of the number of entries for PAYE taxpayers. But with the exception of 2.1 million taxpayers dealt with in centre 1, almost all the 27.4 million taxpayers within PAYE are dealt with manually.
