HC Deb 28 March 1988 vol 130 c317W
Mr. John Marshall

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer by how much in real terms he expects take-home pay for a married man with two children on average earnings to have risen between 1978–79 and 1988–89.

Mr. Norman Lamont

I expect that his real take home pay will have risen by 27½ per cent. between 1978–79 and 1988–89.
