§ Mrs. Virginia Bottomleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the last year that information is available, how many taxpayers had incomes between (a) £27,500 to £29,999; (b) £30,000 to £34,000, (c) £35,000 to £39,999, (d) £40,000 to £44,999 and over £50,000.
§ Mr. Norman Lamont[pursuant to his reply, 9 March 1987]: Estimates for 1986–87 are given in the table. The analysis is of single people and married couples liable to income tax. The figures are based on a projection from the 1984–85 "Survey of Personal Incomes" and are therefore provisional.
