HC Deb 27 February 1968 vol 759 c310W
Mr. Grieve

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what is the estimated annual cost of assessing and taxing married women separately upon their separate income.

Mr. Harold Lever

If the hon. Member means taxing married women as if they were single persons while continuing to give the husbands the higher personal allowance, the cost would be of the order of £100 million a year.
