HC Deb 09 May 1984 vol 59 c386W
Mr.Best

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many persons whose income consists entirely of the means-tested benefits, will be subjct to taxation following his announcement of increases in personal allowances.

Mr.Moore

I regret that information on which to base an estimate is not available, but the indications are that few people whose income for the full financial year consists entirely of means-tested benefits will be liable to tax.
