HC Deb 19 June 1986 vol 99 c628W
29. Mr. Caborn

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received concerning his proposals to abolish the married man's allowance.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The abolition of the married man's allowance is only one aspect of the possible change to a system of transferable allowances discussed in the Green Paper "The Reform of Personal Taxation" (Cmnd. 9756).

Most of the comments so far received on the Green Paper support transferable allowances. I hope that as many people as possible will let us have their views.
