Mr. Nicholas Brown : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much in real terms the average annual tax payment of a man with no allowances and reliefs other than the married man's tax allowance earning (a) £5,000, (b) £10,000, (c) £15,000 and (d) £20,000 has increased or decreased since 1978-79.
Mr. Norman Lamont : The table compares the income tax liability of a married man under the current tax regime and under the 1978-79 regime indexed to 1988-89 levels according to the statutory formula.

Mr. Nicholas Brown : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide figures for 1979 and 1986 showing, on an equivalent income basis, the proportion of each of the following household types in each quintile of (a) original and (b) post-tax income as defined in the annual articles in Economic Trends on the effects of taxes and benefits for (i) one adult with children, (ii) two adults with children, (iii) non-retired without children and (iv) retired.
Mr. Norman Lamont : I regret that these figures could be provided only at disproportionate cost. However, some of the information requested is available for 1985 on page 113 of the July 1987 edition of Economic Trends.
Mr. Squire : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the Official Report a table which sets out for a two-child family on (a) half average earnings, (b) three quarters average earnings, (c) average earnings, (d) one and a half average earnings, (e) twice average earnings, (f) five times average earnings and (g) 10 times
Column 623
average earnings the increase in net income to be derived from (i) a 1p cut in the standard rate of income tax in the 1989-90 financial year. (ii) an increase in personal allowances, over and above indexation, which incurred the same cost as a 1p cut in standard rate income tax, (iii) an increase in child benefit which incurred the same cost as a 1p in standard rate income tax (both assuming and not assuming similar increases in the income support and family credit children's rates separately) and (iv) the introduction of a reduced rate tax band of 20 per cent. at the same cost as a 1p cut in standard rate income tax, showing what band of income the reduced rate would cover, and (v) the introduction or a reduced rate tax band of 15 per cent. at the same cost as a 1p cut in standard rate income tax, showing what band of income the reduced rate would cover.Mr. Norman Lamont [holding answer 21 December 1988] : The effects of the proposed changes on a family
Column 624
with two children are shown in the table. The table contains information based on direct revenue or expenditure cost in a full year at 1989-90 levels of income. Estimates are based on projections of the 1986-87 survey of personal incomes in line with forecasts in the Autumn Statement. On this basis, each of the measures would cost £1.53 billion in a full year that is the full year figure underlying the first year cost of a 1p cut in the basic rate of income tax, £1.40 billion, shown in the Autumn Statement. The income tax changes are compared with the 1988-89 tax regime indexed to 1989-90 according to the statutory provisions. The income tax calculations assume that all personal allowances would increase by the same percentage and disregard any changes in social security income related benefits to which the family may be entitled. It has also been assumed that the only tax relief or allowance available to the married couple is the married man's allowance and that the wife has no earnings.Column 623

Mr. Nicholas Brown : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate, on the same basis as the ready reckoner published in the Autumn Statement, what the effect is on a one-earner, two-child family of spending in 1989-90 the same sum on (a) a 1p cut in the basic rate of income tax, (b) raising income tax thresholds above their indexed levels and (c) raising child benefit, assuming (i) no change in income support rates and(ii) corresponding changes in income support rates.

Mr. Norman Lamont : I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Hornchurch (Mr. Squire) today.
Mr. Squire : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the Official Report up-to-date figures treating child benefit as negative income tax and using 1988-89 prices but otherwise on the same basis as those provided to the hon. Member for Blackburn (Mr. Straw) in the Official Report, 27 March 1987, columns 310-38.

Notes to tablesIncome tax payments are calculated on the assumption that the tax units have no other tax reliefs apart from the standard allowances. Earners, including working wives, are assumed to pay Class 1 NI contributions at the contracted in rate. The figures for NI contributions are financial year averages.
2. Average earnings are taken to be the average gross weekly earnings of all full-time males on adult rates with pay unaffected by absence. The levels of average earnings in each year are given below :

3. The two earner married couple is assumed to have joint earnings of the various multiples of average earnings. In calculating disposable income it is assumed that the joint earnings are split between husband and wife in the ratio 60 : 40.
4. For the married couple with two children, child benefit is treated as a negative income tax. For this purpose, financial year averages are used for child benefit.
5. The estimates of indirect taxes are derived from the 1985 family expenditure survey and are based on the illustrative assumption that 10 per cent. of disposable income is saved. Estimates cannot reliably be made outside the income range for which figures are shown. There are also quite wide variations in spending patterns between households with similar incomes and composition and, because of sampling variation, there can be substantial differences between the estimates obtained from different family expenditure surveys.
Departmental Spending
Mr. Nigel Griffiths : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish figures showing the public spending outturn for each Government Department and total in (a) each year from 1978-79 until 1989-90 plans expressed in constant 1988 prices, (b) the annual percentage change for each Department and the total and (c) the overall percentage change for each Department and the total.
Mr. Major : A breakdown of the public expenditure planning total by Department for the years 1978-79 and 1983-84 to 1989-90 in real terms (base year 1987-88), from which percentage changes can be derived, was given in table 1.10 of the 1988 Autumn Statement. Corresponding figures for the years 1979-80 to 1982-83 will appear in the 1989 public expenditure White Paper (table 21.4.3) which is due to be published towards the end of the month.
Share Issues
Mr. Butterfill : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what information he has regarding the amount of new capital raised through share issues by companies quoted on the London stock exchange in each of the last five years.
Mr. Norman Lamont : The value of net issues of share capital by United Kingdom listed public companies for the period 1984-88 are given in the table :
|£ million
------------------------------
1984 |1,440
1985 |4,625
1986 |7,816
1987 |15,432
1988 |5,877
These figures relate to new money raised in sterling on the main United Kingdom stock market by issues of
Column 648
ordinary and preference shares. Small amounts were also raised on this market by companies registered abroad. The figures do not include privatisations that did not raise new money for the company. Amounts raised by companies on the unlisted securities market, which was launched by the stock exchange in November 1980, were as follows :
|£ million
------------------------------
1984 |137
1985 |170
1986 |301
1987 |958
1988 |620
More money has been raised during 1984-88 than in any previous five-year period.
Parliamentary Questions
Mr. French : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many oral parliamentary questions he has answered by written reply because the question was not reached at Question Time, for the most recent year for which figures are available.
Mr. Brooke : In 1988, a total of 914 oral questions were tabled to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, of which 787 received a written reply. These figures do not include oral questions which were subsequently withdrawn, unstarred or transferred to other Departments.
Local and National Expenditure
Mr. Battle : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing expenditure by function for (a) housing, (b) other environmental services, (c) education and science, (d) health and personal social services and (e) social security, broken down into expenditure accounted for by (i) local authorities and (ii) central Government for each year between 1968-69 and 1990-91 in both cash and real terms.
Mr. Major [holding answer 22 December 1988] : Detailed information on public expenditure by function and Department was given in the introductory tables to the departmental chapters in "The Government's Expenditure Plans 1988-89 to 1990-91" Cm 288-II. These tables also differentiated between expenditure accounted for by local authorities and central Government. Information on trends in cash and real terms since 1978 -79 were given in the historical trends section of Cm 288-I, which also gave the GDP deflators from which other real terms figures can be calculated. Similar information updated to take account of the 1988 public expenditure survey will appear in the departmental booklets and chapter 21 of the 1989 public expenditure White Paper due to be published in January.
