§ Dr. McDonaldasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the estimate he gave of the revenue saved from the abolition of the married man's tax allowance in his reply to the hon. Member for Barking (Miss Richards), Official Report. 31 March 1981, column 62, included the savings that would result from the abolition of the additional personal allowances; and what this saving would be.
§ Mr. Peter Rees[pursuant to his reply, 20 July 1981, c. 42]: No. The abolition of the additional personal allowance would save about £90 million in a full year at 1981–82 income levels.
