§ 71. Mr. FELLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the number of persons who make their Income Tax return at nil because all their income is taxed at the source and reaches them with the deduction of 1s. 2d. in the £ already made?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe information asked for by the hon. Member is not available.
§ Mr. FELLWould it not be possible to get it made available if it is not available at the present time?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEIt could only be obtained by circularising the surveyors of the country. I could not trouble them at the present moment. Perhaps the hon. Member will put a question later on in the Session.
§ Mr. GEORGE TERRELLWill these people now be put to the trouble of making detailed returns for the Budget proposals?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThere will be no change as far as the Budget is concerned.
§ Mr. G. TERRELLWill they be put to the trouble of making returns?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThey will be put to the same trouble in the future as in the past.
