HC Deb 29 January 1987 vol 109 c384W
48. Mr. Fallon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many taxpayers earn less than £7,000 per year.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Information is readily available only in respect of total income for income tax purposes. In 1986–87 it is estimated that about 7.4 million single people and married couples will pay tax on incomes under £7,000.
