1The 'savers' and dividends tax rates have been left unchanged for this analysis.

Estimates are based upon the 2001–02 Survey of Personal Incomes. The effects of the illustrative changes can be scaled up or down over a reasonably wide range. The results exclude any behavioural response to the tax change.

Mrs. Humble

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many senior citizens in Blackpool, North and Fleetwood qualified for the 10p rate of income tax in each year since its introduction. [176402]

Dawn Primarolo

All income taxpayers benefit from the 10p starting rate. The Survey of Personal Incomes estimates there are about 9,000 and 10,000 state retirement pension age taxpayers in the Blackpool, North and Fleetwood constituency in 2000–01 and 2001–02 respectively. However, year on year comparisons should be treated with caution because of sampling variation. Figures for 1999–2000 are currently not available.
