HC Deb 27 March 1969 vol 780 c355W
Mr. Christopher Price

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the cost to the Revenue of providing separate assessments for Income Tax and Surtax to all husbands and wives in the next financial year.

Mr. Harold Lever

I am not quite sure what my hon. Friend is suggesting, but to tax all husbands and wives as though they were single persons would result in a net gain to the Revenue.
