HC Deb 10 May 1982 vol 23 c186W
Mr. Lofthouse

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many widows receiving less than £40 per week have been brought into the tax bracket since May 1979.

Mr. Ridley

It is estimated that there will be about 35,000 more widows with incomes below £40 per week paying tax in 1982–83 than there were in 1979–80 paying tax with incomes below the equivalent level in real terms (of £28.25 per week).
