Women's Taxation

Mrs. Hayman
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many women aged 60 to 64 years pay tax in each of the categories single, widowed, and divorced; and how much it would cost in each category to raise the personal allowance to the level of the age allowance available to single people aged 65 years or over.

Mr. Robert Sheldon
I regret that the information on which to base an estimate is not available.
