To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the effect was on revenue from top rate income tax of the reduction of the top rate from 60 per cent to 40 per cent in 1988 in the (a) first year and (b) second year following that reduction.
Mr David Gauke
Observed changes in tax receipts following rate changes will reflect a combination of effects of the rate changes and underlying economic and distributional changes.
One study that analyses these effects is set out in the Institute Fiscal Studies (IFS) Mirrlees Review, Dimensions of Tax Design. This studied the revenue impacts of tax changes during the 1970s and 1980s, including the rate changes in 1988. It is available at: http://www.ifs.org.uk/mirrleesreview/dimensions/ch2.pdf (see Chapter 2).
This study was part of the evidence considered by HMRC in the report “The Exchequer effect of the 50 percent additional rate of income tax” published at Budget 2012. The behavioural response estimated in the HMRC report is consistent with a range of academic studies including the results from the IFS.
The HMRC report is available at; http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/budget2012/excheq-income-tax-2042.pdf

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what levels of stock his Department holds of (a) stationery, (b) printer cartridges, (c) treasury tags and other fasteners and (d) other office consumables.
Dr Daniel Poulter
The Department makes use of the Government Office Supplies contract to obtain supplies of stationery and associated items. In March 2014, the Department ordered 1,957 units of stationery which included 54 boxes of foldback clips, 41 boxes of bar tags and 15 boxes of paperclips. These items are ordered directly from Banner on an as required basis by individual directorates and no records of any small local stocks are maintained.
The Department does not hold central stocks of the consumables associated with the provision of multi functional device services such as printers. These items are replenished automatically by the supplier when required.
In a small number of cases, standalone printer cartridges are sourced through XMA Ltd under the Government Office Supplies Contract. In March 2014, the Department sourced 13 units through this contract. A small number of these items may be held locally but these are not recorded.

To ask the Attorney General, what levels of stock the Law Officers’ Departments hold of (a) stationery, (b) printer cartridges, (c) treasury tags and other fasteners and (d) other office consumables.
Oliver Heald
The Crown Prosecution Service has reduced its expenditure on stationery substantially since 2010, however inventories of stationery items and office consumables are not maintained and to calculate the stock levels held would incur a disproportionate cost.
The remaining Law Officers’ Departments operate "Just in Time" purchasing for most stationery items and do not therefore keep details on the exact levels of stock of stationery, printer cartridges, treasury tags and other fasteners, or other office consumables. Providing such information would incur a disproportionate cost.
