HC Deb 27 February 1958 vol 583 c533
39. Sir W. Wakefield

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the financial difficulties facing middle-aged single women who are entirely dependent on their own earnings; and what consideration he is giving to alleviating these difficulties.

Mr. Maudling

If my hon. Friend has in mind any reduction of taxation I can of course do no more than reply in the classic phrase that I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement.
