asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the approximate number of those with net incomes of £10,000, £8,000, £6,000, £4,000, £3,000 and £2,000 per annum for the years ended 31st March, 1914, 1920, 1938, 1945 and 1949, respectively.

Figures for the years 1938–39, 1942–43, 1944–45 and 1945–46, for the income ranges for which information was available, appeared in the National Income White Papers for 1944, 1945 and 1946. It is hoped to provide similar information for 1947–48 in the forthcoming Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. Information for the other years is not available.
