HC Deb 26 May 1938 vol 336 c1414W
Mr. Pilkington

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the fact that the ordinary meaning of the word housekeeper means a woman managing the affairs of a household, Income Tax allowance may be made under Section 19 of the Finance Act, 1920, to an unmarried man who employs such a housekeeper?

Captain Wallace:

If my hon. Friend will refer again to Section 19 of the Finance Act, 1920, he will see that the allowance for a housekeeper in that Section is limited to widowers and widows.
