Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much funding his Department has allocated to the marriage allowance; and how many (a) married couples and (b) couples in civil partnerships received that allowance in each year since it was introduced.
There is no specific funding allocated to this relief, and therefore no under-spend. Anyone who is eligible for the Marriage Allowance (MA) will receive it if they apply.
Estimates of the number of couples who have benefitted from MA are being updated following the end of 2018-19 tax year.
