HC Deb 09 November 1988 vol 140 c241W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, further to his reply dated 19 October concerning the direct revenue yield from abolishing allowances and reliefs,Official Report, column 933–34, he will revise the figures to include the abolition of the wife's earned income allowance and to exclude the employee's superannuation contributions and donations to charities.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The reply to which the hon. Member refers gave estimates of the cost of increasing personal allowances by £100. I cannot therefore provide the information requested.
