HC Deb 15 July 1976 vol 915 cc258-9W
30. Mr. Newton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what estimate he has made of the total amount of income tax paid by war widows and other widows, respectively, in the latest year for which figures are available.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

I regret that separate information about war widows and other widows is not at present available, but the amount of income tax paid by all widows on all forms of income in 1976–77 is expected to be about £400 million.
