Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people have ceased to pay income tax as a result of increases in the personal allowance since May 2010 in Cambridge constituency.

By April 2015 this Government's increases in the personal allowance (for those born after 5 April 1948) are estimated to have taken 3.2 million individuals out of the income tax system altogether. 287,000 of these individuals live in the East of England region, which includes the Parliamentary Constituency of Cambridge.

These estimates are based on the 2012-13 Survey of Personal Incomes, projected to 2015-16 using economic assumptions consistent with the Office for Budget Responsibility’s December 2014 economic and fiscal outlook.

HM Treasury does not publish this information at constituency level.
