§ Mr. Peter BottomleyTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will now make it his policy to provide in answer to parliamentary questions figures relating to tax paid by classes of taxpayers sufficiently large to preserve confidentiality with particular reference to businesses now privatised; and if he will publish his correspondence with the hon. Member for Eltham on the subject.
§ Mr. DorrellPublished statistics about taxation are limited to aggregates which preserve the confidentiality of taxpayers' affairs.
