HC Deb 30 January 1969 vol 776 c386W
Mr. Tapsell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much he estimates to be the return in taxation from claiming back family allowances in full by reducing the child tax allowance from those above the tax threshold for the years 1968–69 and 1969–70, respectively.

Mr. Harold Lever

I am not sure what the hon. Member is suggesting. If he wishes the family allowances (and no more) to be clawed back through a reduction in tax allowances from all parents paying any tax, and from them alone, the tax system could not be adapted to secure this result.
