§ Paul FlynnTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer in which years the rate of Treasury supplement to the National Insurance Fund was 18 per cent.; and if he will estimate the amount of the supplement in the current year if it were paid at that rate. [139451]
§ Dawn PrimaroloThe Treasury supplement was 18 per cent. for the years 1975–76 to 1980–81. It was abolished in 1988–89. If it still applied, and the rate was 18 per cent. it would amount to £12.4 billion for 2003–04.
