HC Deb 10 February 1904 vol 129 c1304
MR. SLOAN (Belfast, S.)

To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will explain why the Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland are exempted from the payment of income-tax.

(Answered by Mr. Austen Chamberlain.) The hon. Member appears to be under some misapprehension. The Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland have no special exemption from income-tax.
