HC Deb 19 January 1976 vol 903 cc356-7W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the limit of £115 of a child's income to be disregarded in determining the parent's entitlement to child allowance for income tax purposes was fixed; what would be the equivalent figure today allowing for the fall in the value of the pound; what would be the cost to the Exchequer of increasing the limit to that figure; and whether he will do so.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
