Letter: Working mothers

THROUGH the generous tax relief the system allows married couples, particularly where one of them does not work, the state is already subsidising Sally Dealler's childcare arrangements (Letters, 24 February). My salary supports myself and my two young children, and I don't see why, through the tax breaks already in place, it should also be helping to support other people's non-working wives.
