HC Deb 14 May 1914 vol 62 cc1281-2
71. Mr. FELL

asked 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 GEORGE

The information asked for by the hon. Member is not available.

Mr. FELL

Would it not be possible to get it made available if it is not available at the present time?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

It 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 TERRELL

Will these people now be put to the trouble of making detailed returns for the Budget proposals?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

There will be no change as far as the Budget is concerned.

Mr. G. TERRELL

Will they be put to the trouble of making returns?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

They will be put to the same trouble in the future as in the past.
