§ MR. WEIRTo ask the Secretary of State for India whether his attention has been called to the fact that income tax is now levied in India on incomes of 500 rupees (£33 6s. 8d.) and upwards; and will he consider the expediency of extending the exemption.
(Answered by Secretary Lord George Hamilton). I am aware of the fact which the hon. Member mentions. There is no intention at present of modifying the Indian Income Tax Act.
