Under the heading of Income Tax a small concession is

made to widows and widowers who have children. Legislation dealing with minor matters is also promised. For example, persons whose claim to be " ordinarily resident " outside the United Kingdom is disputed are to have a right of appeal. Telephone charges are also reduced. There is to be a penny call within a five-mile radius, and there will be small reductions in local and trunk calls. The cost of these reductions is estimated at £1,000,000 in a full year.
