HC Deb 27 July 1978 vol 954 c835W
32. Mr. Whitlock

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the case of women who are (a) divorced or separated from their husbands, (b) in receipt of court awarded maintenance payments from which their husbands have deducted tax and (c) having to present to the Inland Revenue at intervals certificates of deduction of tax in order to obtain refunds of the deducted tax, he will introduce regulations to bring about a more equitable and less cumbersome method of dealing with these transfers of income.

Mr. Denzil Davies

No. I am satisfied that the present arrangements work well in the great majority of cases.
