§ Mr. Hordernasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the yield to the Inland Revenue if child benefit were made subject to income tax.
§ Mr. MooreThe yield from taxing child benefit would be about £1.1 billion in a full year at 1984–85 income levels and assuming the income tax allowances proposed in my right hon. Friend's Budget statement and the November 1983 child benefit rate of £6.50 per week.
