HC Deb 31 May 1965 vol 713 cc164-5W
102. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the cost of giving an attendance tax relief of £200 to a single person maintaining in her or his home a dependent relative in receipt of a war disablement pension, industrial injury pension, retirement pension or National Assistance.

Mr. MacDermot

The precise information asked for by the hon. Lady is not available, but if all single taxpayers now claiming the dependent relative allowance were to be given the proposed attendance allowance in addition the cost would be about £20 million in a full year.
