Mr. Vaneasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the cost of allowing spinsters and bachelors to claim the housekeeper allowance at the same rate and on the same conditions as widows and widowers.
§ Mr. H. MacmillanNo such estimate has been made, nor is there sufficient information about the employment of housekeepers by spinsters and bachelors to enable a reliable figure to be calculated.
