asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will publish in the Official Report a table showing for 1957–58, 1967–68, 1977–78 and the latest financial year for which figures are available the total amount of tax paid by companies and the components, including the amounts deducted by way of tax on dividends, selective employment tax, national insurance contributions and national insurance surcharges, together with a forecast for the outturn in the current financial year and a forecast for the next financial year on the basis of profits earned to date.

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