asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to maintain and publish statistics to show the annual impact upon ratepayers in England and Wales of increases or decreases in ground taxation, National Insurance contributions, interest rates, and other aspects of official financial policies; and if he will publish the appropriate figures for the period October 1964 to date.

No. A wide range of statistics relating to financial matters, including some of those the hon. Member has in mind, are provided in "Financial Statistics" published monthly by the Central Statistical Office.
