HC Deb 11 June 1980 vol 986 c200W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will introduce a system of income tax allowances for disabled people in order to make it more financially beneficial for them to undertake jobs where possible.

Mr. Peter Rees

Our objective is to increase work incentives by reducing the burden of direct tax for all members of the community, but specific support for the disabled is more effectively provided through the social security system.
