HC Deb 20 February 1975 vol 886 cc477-8W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider proposing granting to a widow at the age of 60 years the £500 additional allowance for investment income given to men at the age of 65 years.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

No. I think it is fairer that the special income tax reliefs for the elderly should begin at the same age for men and women.
