§ Mr. Channonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any proposals to increase blind persons tax allowance in view of the fact that this has increased by only 80 per cent. since 1962.
§ Mr. Robert SheldonMy right hon. Friend will be reviewing tax allowances prior to his Budget, but I doubt whether increasing this allowance is necessarily the best way to help blind people generally, since many of them are not taxpayers.
