HC Deb 22 January 1970 vol 794 c194W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that money received by wives in respect of children's maintenance is liable to be taxed at source through the husband and again when received by the wife; and if he will consider exempting such income from tax when received by the wife.

Mr. Taverne

No; there is no double taxation such as my hon. Friend suggests. If he has a particular case in mind and will send me the details I will look into it and will write to him.
