Private Education Allowances
43. Mr. Hinchliffe : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much tax revenue was forgone during the last financial year in respect of allowances for private education.
Mr. Lilley : If the hon. Member will write to me giving details of the particular allowances he has in mind I shall be happy to provide the relevant information.
EC Trade
Mr. Teddy Taylor : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing the United Kingdom's deficit or surplus in (a) all trade and (b) trade to manufacturers with the European Community in each year since 1972.
Mr. Norman Lamont : The latest information is available on the Central Statistical Office database which may be accessed through the Library of the House.
Privatisation
Mr. Canavan : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what has been the total income to the Exchequer as a result of privatisation measures since May 1979.
Column 697
Mr. Lilley : The net proceeds from privatisation since 1979 to date amount to some £28 billion.Coinage
Mr. Speller : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consultations he undertakes with local government representatives when considering changes in the coinage ; what estimate he has made of the consequential cost of converting coin-operated machines when the 5p coin is replaced ; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Ryder : The decision to introduce the new 5p coin was taken after extensive research and consultation on Britain's coinage. In July 1987 a consultative pamphlet inviting comments on options for changes to the coinage, was issued to a wide range of organisations including local authorities. Sample coins have been made available to a large number of vending interests and local authorities in order to assist in the adjustment to the new coin. While there will undoubtedly be some transitional costs for owners of coin operated machines, they will benefit from the lower cost of handling lighter coins.
Government Revenue
Mr. David Nicholson : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total sum of central Government revenue for 1989-90 ; and what was the amount of central Government revenue used for that funding of local government services.
Mr. Norman Lamont : Total central Government receipts in 1989-90, on a national accounts basis, are estimated to have been £181.2 billion. On the same basis, central Government grants to local authorities, are estimated to have been £27.1 billion. Central Government grants to local authorities, within the planning total, are estimated to have been £23.5 billion.
VAT
Mr. Thornton : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table showing for each country within the European Economic Community the rate of value added tax attaching to (a) food, (b) children's clothing, (c) new housing and (d) books and newspapers.
Mr. Ryder : The information available for each EC member state is set out in the tables :

Taxes and Benefits
Mr. Nicholas Brown : To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish in the Official Report up-to-date figures on the same basis as those provided to the hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne, East, in his answer of 8 January, Official Report, columns 559-64, revising his figures to include an estimate of the effects of the 1990 Budget statement and the introduction of the community charge.
Column 700
Mr. Lilley [holding answer 5 June 1990] : Figures for 1978-79 to 1987-88 were placed in the library of the House last year (as noted in the Official Report, 13 April 1989, column 624). The latest estimates for 1988-89, 1989-90 and 1990-91 are given in the tables. I regret that it is not yet possible to produce satisfactory estimates of the effects of the introduction of the community charge and associated arrangements for transitional relief.
Notes to Tables
(1) Income tax payments are calculated on the assumption that the households receive no tax reliefs other than the standard allowances and only have income from employment. All earners, including wives, are assumed to pay class 1 NI contributions at the contracted in rate. The figures for NI contributions are financial year averages. (2) From 1990-91 husbands and wives will be taxed independently. Previously the tax liability of couples depended on their joint income. To permit comparisons with earlier years the table therefore shows income tax and national insurance contributions paid by a married couple in 1990-91 as a proportion of their joint income, assuming, as in the earlier years, that where both partners are earners, the husband and wife share the relevant multiple of earnings in the ratio 60 : 40.
(3) In order to provide comparability with 1978-79, when support for children was given partly through child tax allowances, child benefit is treated as a negative income tax for the married couple with two children.
(4) Average earnings are taken to be the average gross weekly earnings of all full-time males on adult rates with pay unaffected by absence. These were £256.30 per week in 1988-89, £280.00 per week in 1989-90, and estimated to be £303.80 per week in 1990-91, using the Government Actuary Department's assumption of 8 per cent. growth over 1989-90 as published in the 1989 Autumn Statement.
(5) The estimate 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. There are wide variations in spending patterns between households with similar incomes and composition, and estimated payments of VAT, other indirect taxes and domestic rates are therefore approximate, even within the income range for which figures are shown. Outside this range the margin of error is even higher and reliable estimates cannot be made. Because of sampling variation, there can be substantial differences between the estimates obtained from family expenditure surveys for different years.
