HC Deb 22 July 1987 vol 120 c232W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many households in Wales with incomes of £125 per week or less pay income tax.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The information held is in terms of tax units (married couples and single persons) rather than households. About 390,000 tax units resident in Wales were liable to income tax and had earned income averaging £125 per week or less assessable for 1984–85, the latest year for which information is available.
