HC Deb 20 December 1915 vol 77 cc24-5
68. Mr. GRANT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he is aware that certain British subjects have lately transferred their capital and business offices to New York and have abandoned their British domicile, thus escaping payment of all British taxes; and whether he will take steps to prevent such action by others?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. McKenna)

My attention has been drawn to the circumstances stated in the question, but I am not prepared to take any action of the nature suggested.
