HC Deb 17 February 1919 vol 112 c558
75. Mr. G. LOCKER-LAMPSON

asked whether the Government intend, to allow women the right of separate assessment, relief, and abatement of Income Tax without reference to the husband's income?

Mr. BALDWIN

The question raised by my hon. Friend will fall within the scope of the comprehensive inquiry into the Income Tax which is about to be made by a Royal Commission.

Mr. LOCKER-LAMPSON

Does not my hon. Friend think that a great difference is made by the fact that women are now on a practical political equality with men?
