HC Deb 04 December 1975 vol 901 c691W
36. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will bring forward proposals to enable the next of kin of murder victims to be exempt from income tax during the period when the convicted murderer is being held in prison at the taxpayer's expense.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I do not believe it would be either appropriate or practicable to do so.
