But to give an incen- tive for the longer and harder work which Britain wants, he pro- posed to increase income relief from the present one-sixth. with a maximum of £250. to one-fifth. subject to a. maximum of £400. This in effect will reduce the rate of tax chargeable on addit- ional earnings. The amount of in- come entirely tax free is raised from £120 to £136.
