§ Mr. MandelsonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total unearned income of the top 1 per cent. of tax payers for each year since 1990–91 divided into income from(a) shares and securities, (b) bank and interest-bearing accounts, (c) building societies accounts and deposits, (d) rents, (e) pensions and annuities and (f) other.
§ Sir George YoungEstimates for the top 1 per cent. of taxpayers are given in the table for 1991–92 and 199293, the latest year for which a breakdown of unearned income is available. Income from pensions is not included in the table as this is classified as earned rather than unearned.
