§ MAJOR HILLSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, though widowers with children are allowed an abatement off income assessable to Income Tax for help which they have to obtain to look after 1453W their children, a widow has no similar right, and therefore widows who are wage or salary earners and have to work outside their homes and employ someone to look after their children are deprived of abatement and will he consider the advisability of extending the privilege to widows so circumstanced?
Mr. CHAMBERLAINI would refer my lion, and gallant Friend to the answer, a copy of which I am sending him, given on die 5th instant in reply to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Newton.
