HC Deb 25 July 1968 vol 769 c178W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the total amount of relief given from Income Tax and Surtax in the years 1965– 66, 1966–67, and 1967–68, in respect of all personal allowances.

Mr. Harold Lever

If there had been no personal allowances, or allowances for children or other dependants in any of the years in question the extra amount of tax would have been in the region of £3,400 million for each year.
