HC Deb 25 February 1969 vol 778 c255W
Mr. Dickens

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the estimated loss to the public revenue of raising the personal allowance for Income Tax to £250 a year for a single man and £375 a year for a married man.

Mr. Harold Lever

The cost of raising the single person's allowance to £250 and the married man's allowance to £375 would be about £280 million for 1968–69.
