Waylandasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider in his next Budget the case of elderly single 1599W men and women of 70 years of age and upwards now in receipt of pensions of £150 to £160 per annum who cannot claim old age pensions and who find the present Income Tax a heavy burden; and, if he cannot reduce the Income Tax, will he consider making an extra allowance equivalent to the amount of the tax.
§ Sir J. AndersonI am afraid that I could not see my way to entertain my hon. Friend's suggestion.
