HC Deb 19 July 1976 vol 915 c352W
Mr. Knox

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of married women in employment are now taxed separately from their husbands.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Information is not available in precisely the form requested, but for 1976–77 it is estimated that about 2 per cent. of married couples would benefit from an election to have the wife's earned income taxed separately.
