HC Deb 24 November 1992 vol 214 cc572-3W
Mr. Dewar

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will update his answer of 17 December 1991 to the hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne, East (Mr. Brown),Official Report, column 121, to provide similar estimates of the burden of direct and indirect taxes for the years 1991–92 and 1992–93; and if he will publish any revisions for earlier years.

Mr. Dorrell

[holding answer 20 November 1992]: Although the 1991 family expenditure survey has now been published, estimation of the effects of the community charge on tax burdens requires further analysis of the data. I will write to the hon. Member with updated estimates as soon as this extra work has been carried out.
