asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated increase in the real value of income from employment in the first and second quarters of this year.

Estimates fur the second quarter of 1975 are not yet available. The available information about estimated changes in income between the fourth quarter of 1974 and first quarter of 1975 is as follows:services provided under the National Health Service.

SI 1331/1974 is intended to cover gifts of medical or scientific equipment to non-profit-making hospitals or research institutions where the equipment is purchased from charitable or voluntarily-donated funds. I am not aware of any widespread demand to extend the relief to the domiciliary services provided under the National Health Service.
