HC Deb 28 July 1955 vol 544 cc173-4W
Major Hicks Beach

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, when considering his next year's Budget proposals, he will bear in mind the financial hardship which is suffered by a married man who has to have a housekeeper to look after his invalid wife and receives no tax relief for the payments made, and if he will take steps to relieve this hardship.

Mr. H. Brooke

The Royal Commission on the Taxation of Profits and Income made certain recommendations for relief from tax for persons who are totally disabled. These matters will be considered before next year's Finance Bill, together with the Royal Commission's other recommendations.
