§ MR. GROVES) (Salford, S.To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the claims of officers of His Majesty's Naval and Military Services to exemption from income tax when serving abroad.
(Answered by Mr. Ritchie.) Officers in the service of the Crown, Naval, Military, or Civil, are by the Income Tax Acts, chargeable with income tax on their salaries paid out of Votes whether serving at home or abroad. This has always been the case, and I see no reason for making any change.
