HC Deb 28 June 1976 vol 914 c45W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the saving in the current financial year if the married man's tax allowance were abolished, assuming that a married man remained entitled to the single person's tax allowance.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Assuming that the proposal applied correspondingly to the age allowances and that the additional personal allowance was withdrawn, the estimated yield for 1976–77 is £1,640 million.
