asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the tax repayments in the week beginning 7th March 1977 paid to a married man with two children normally earning £65 a week, and without any other forms of income, if he were in receipt of unemployment benefit that week due to a trade dispute at his place of work in which he was not taking part, and had made full tax payments in the fiscal year prior to that date; who makes the repayments; and what delay there normally is in paying them.

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
