HC Deb 26 October 1971 vol 823 c284W
Mr. Bishop

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will give further consideration to making it a requirement that any return required by the Income Tax Act, 1952, shall, if made by a married man who wife is living with him, and similarly for a common-law wife, be countersigned by such wife, providing the General Commissioners shall have power to waive the requirement.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I know the hon. Member's interest in this matter but I think he is aware of the difficulties.
