Sir Brandon Rhys Williams
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the number of single people claiming single person's tax allowance, who are not householders.
Mr. Lawson
About 5 million, not all of whom pay tax after taking account of the allowance. This estimate is for 1977, the latest year available, and is based on the family expenditure survey.
