asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will indicate the distribution by range of total net income of the rent, dividends and interest received in 1973, totalling £6,361 million, according to Table 8 of the Diamond Commission Report No. 1, or the latest year for which the information is available; and if he will give a similar distribution for rent receipts alone.

Since much of the amount of rent, dividends and interest shown in Table 8 of the Diamond Commission Report No. 1 is not payable to individuals it cannot be allocated to ranges of total net income. The available information about the distribution of investment income by range of total net income in 1972–73 will be found in Table 8 of the booklet "The Survey of Personal Incomes 1972–73", published by the Board of Inland Revenue.
