§ 75. Mr. Bowdenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the extension of the Income Tax allowance of £50, at present granted to widowers and bachelors who employ a housekeeper, to spinsters who are in full-time employment and have to employ a housekeeper.
§ Mr. DaltonThis allowance is already available to a spinster in full-time employment on the same conditions as to a bachelor, namely, that the housekeeper is employed to look after a child in respect of whom the claimant is entitled to the child allowance.
