HC Deb 19 July 1968 vol 768 c300W
Mr. John Page

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce legislation to provide that tax allowances are only made available to taxpayers in respect of dependants resident in this country.

Mr. Harold Lever

I have noted the hon. Member's suggestion.

Mr. John Page

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many taxpayers are claiming allowances for overseas dependants; how many dependants are concerned; and what is the total sum of tax relief given in respect of non-resident dependants.

Mr. Harold Lever

The information is not available.
