HC Deb 11 February 1970 vol 795 c352W
Mrs. Joyce Butler

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the amount of personal allowance given for income tax purposes to widows and widowers, respectively; and what is the tax-free allowance for a housekeeper in each category.

Mr. Taverne

Widows and widowers are entitled to the single person's allowance of £255; if they are entitled to the allowance for a resident housekeeper this amounts to £75.
