HC Deb 01 July 1982 vol 26 c371W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when the dependent relative allowance was raised to its present level of £100; and if he has any plans for a further increase.

Mr. Ridley

The dependent relative allowance was increased to its present level of £100—£145 for single women—in 1973. I have no plans at present to increase it.
