HC Deb 28 July 1965 vol 717 c144W
Mr. Wallace

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will adjust the Income Tax allowance for widowers, widows, and single persons to take into account the fact that they have to bear the full expenses of a household, although living on their own.

Mr. MacDerrnot

I am afraid that I cannot agree that the point my hon. Friend makes would justify an increase in personal allowance.
