Mr. Freud

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the cost of exempting war widows' pensions from tax liability where the widow's sole additional income is from earned sources; and how many would benefit in each of the earned income categories up to £500 per annum, £500-£1,000 per annum, £l,000-£ 1,500 per annum, £l,500-£2,000 and £2,000-£2,500 per annum.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I regret that the information on which to base an estimate is not available.
