Read the text In 1993 the British government published a book full of figures and diagrams. These show how the people of Britain have spent their incomes in the last decades. These charts make us possible for us to see on which goods and services more money was spent and on which less was spent. As we should expect, the amount spent on food is much greater than the amount spent on clothing. We see that the amounts spent on alcoholic drinks and on tobacco are much greater than those spent on books, newspapers and magazines. Out of every twenty shillings, ten went on personal expenditure or food, clothing, rent, household goods, etc. The government took two shillings in direct taxation. Savings were five and the rest went for national insurance.
