§ Dr. Kingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what he estimates would be the extra amount collected in Income Tax if the exemption from tax of the first £100 earned by a married woman were abolished.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe married woman in employment receives an 103W additional allowance of up to £120 and also separate reduced rate reliefs. These together amount to £60 million, but if they were withdrawn the Exchequer would not benefit to this extent as many married women might stop working.
