HC Deb 05 March 1975 vol 887 c440W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what tax allowance a working wife receives in respect of a husband whose only source of income is invalidity benefit.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The married man's allowance, the wife's earned income allowance together with such other allowances—for example, child allowance—as might be appropriate in a particular case would be available to set against the wife's income in these circumstances.
