HC Deb 05 April 1968 vol 762 c150W
Mr. Ridsdale

asked the Chancellor of Exchequer if he will seek to enable blind persons over the age of 70 years to be allowed both the blind allowance of £100 and age exemption relief against income tax.

Mr. Harold Lever

I do not think that it would be right to increase the income limits for age exemption to reflect particular allowances due to the individual concerned.
