HC Deb 13 May 1983 vol 42 c535W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the sum accruing to the Exchequer in 1983–84, on current levels of unemployment and predicted index-linked tax rates and so on from the taxation of social security and unemployment benefits.

Mr. Ridley

An estimate was given in the answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Chippenham (Mr. Needham) on 21 December 1982. [Vol. 34, c.497.] The current estimate is about the same.
