HC Deb 09 November 1998 vol 319 c102W
Mr. Jack

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if all lower rate and higher rate tax payers will receive the full value of his proposed 10 pence starting rate of tax. [58600]

Dawn Primarolo

The Government will introduce a 10 pence starting rate of income tax when it is economically right to do so. The new rate will be incorporated in the income tax system in the way that best meets the Government's objectives of improving work incentives and promoting a fair and efficient tax system.
