HC Deb 10 December 1968 vol 775 c83W
Miss Lestor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will now consider taking steps to introduce allowances against Income Tax where domestic or nursing help is needed because a housewife is medically unfit to fulfil her household responsibilities.

Mr. Harold Lever

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion. No doubt, she is aware that an additional personal allowance of £75 is given where a wife is totally incapacitated and there are young children in the home.
