§ Dr. McDonaldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many couples benefiting from the married man's allowance in the current year have no children, assuming the personal allowances announced in the Budget.
§ Mr. Peter ReesThe number of married couples, without children, who benefit from this year's increase in the married allowances—both for those over and under age 65—is about 6.1 million. Other married couples without children but with low incomes benefit from the allowances in the sense that their income would be taxable but for the allowance available.
