Mr. Bill O'Brien: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received over the proposals in his Budget
statement of 9 March relating to work; and if he will make a statement. [91120]
Mrs. Roche: Treasury Ministers have received a number of representations. Measures announced in the Budget will provide a better
deal for working people. From October, every family with children and with full-time earnings will have a minimum income guarantee
of £200 per week under the Working Families Tax Credit. People in work will have seen the gains from the new 10p rate of Income Tax
in their May pay packets, and, from next April, the basic rate will be cut to 22p to reward work and ensure working families are
better off. Over 450,000 people have already benefited from the New Deal and over 130,000 have found jobs.

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the assumptions used for the purposes of the calculations in

Dawn Primarolo: All the figures given in paragraph 1.26 of the Budget 99 Report (the Red Book) are relative to indexation and are in
1999-2000 prices. They reflect the impact on disposable income of measures included in the 1999 and 1998 Budgets and taking effect
over the three years from 1999-2000, plus the impact of the national minimum wage.
The figures are based on data from the ONS Family Expenditure Survey, the DSS Family Resources Survey and Inland Revenue's Survey of
Personal Incomes.

Mr. Michael Jabez Foster: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what is his assessment of the impact of the
Budget on the tourism industry. [83419]
Janet Anderson: The 1999 Budget continues to lock in long-term economic stability, leaving behind the boom and bust of the late
1980s and early 1990s. It delivers a better deal for business and enterprise by introducing further measures to increase investment,
promote innovation, strengthen competition and improve skills. It is good for businesses of all types, including those in the
tourism industry.

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the new opportunities referred to in paragraph 1.22 of the Red
Book. [80854]
Dawn Primarolo: The Government's aim is to ensure that every family and child has the opportunity to fulfil their potential by
tackling the causes of inequality of opportunity. It is promoting employment opportunity for parents through the New Deals and by
making work pay. This will reduce worklessness, a major cause of childhood disadvantage. It is also investing in early years
learning and education to ensure that every child will have the chance to succeed in later life.

Dawn Primarolo: Over 1994-95, twelve countries took part in an International Adult Literacy Survey. The ranges of scores achieved by
representative samples of each population aged 16 to 65 were grouped into five proficiency levels, of which level 1 indicated people
with very poor literacy skills.
Within the UK sample, 21.8 per cent. achieved only level 1 in prose literacy, which was defined as the knowledge and skills needed
to understand and use information from printed texts, whereas the proportion of the German sample at this level was 14.4 per cent.
There are no comparable figures for later years.

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish the amounts, (i) in current prices, (ii) in constant 1998-99
prices and (iii) as percentages of personal income, taken by (a) income taxes, (b) national insurance contributions, (c) value-added
tax, (d) other central Government indirect taxes, (e) the aggregate of (a) to (d), (f) average council tax payments and (g) the
aggregate of (a) to (d) and (f) for (1) a single person, (2) a married couple without children, both working, (3) a married couple
with two children, husband in work, wife not working, in each case at 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 per cent. of average earnings for the
financial year 1999-2000, taking account of changes announced in his Budget Statement on 9 March 1999, Official Report columns
173-190, and previously announced changes, and for each of the years (x) 1996-97, (y) 1997-98 and (z) 1998-99. [76246]
Dawn Primarolo: The available information, which shows income tax (including child benefit and family credit/working families tax
credit) and national insurance contributions, at multiples of median full-time earnings of all employees is given in the table. The
figures are shown in (a) current prices and (b) as percentages of income, for (i) the years 1996-97 to 1998-99 where the figures
take account of all changes announced in and before the 1998 Budget, and (ii) for 1999-2000 where the figures taken account of all
changes announced in the 1998 and 1999 Budgets which cover 1999-2000 to 2001-02. Estimating the impact of indirect taxes is
imprecise as spending patterns vary widely between households with the same composition and income. The level of council tax
payments will also vary depending on where families live.
Changes announced in this and the last Budget will offer significant help to families. From October 1999 the WFTC will mean that no
family with children will pay net income tax until their earnings exceed £235 per week or more than £12,000 per year. On average
families with children will be £740 per year better off.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Notes: 1. Income tax payments are calculated on the basis 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 national insurance
contributions at the contracted-in rate. 2. Earnings are taken to be the median gross weekly earnings of all full-time employees on
adult rates with pay unaffected by absence. (Median earnings are more representative of the population as a whole than mean male
full-time earnings.) 3. A family with 2 children is assumed to have both children aged under 11. 4. In line with the convention in
the Tax Benefit Reference Manual, child benefit is treated as negative income tax. 5. Family Credit, although not part of the tax
system, has been treated in the same way as WFTC so as to provide comparability with the tax system following the introduction of
WFTC. 6. The calculations assume earnings growth for 1998-99 onwards of an illustrative 4 per cent.

Mr. Gapes: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to use the tax system and other measures to reduce disparities
of income and wealth. [79475]
Dawn Primarolo: The Government are committed to building a fairer society in which everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their
potential and enjoy the benefits of high and stable levels of economic growth. The Working Families Tax Credit, the 10p tax rate,
increased support for children and changes to the National Insurance system, among others, will increase the fairness of the tax
system and encourage work incentives.
The Government's strategy for tackling poverty and social exclusion, which will be set out in detail in a report later this year, is
based around investment in prevention, work as the best way out of poverty, help for those who cannot work, and regeneration of the
poorest communities.
