§ 30. Sir J. D. REESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether surveyors of Income Tax are acting under his instructions in refusing to allow subscriptions given to the Prince of Wales's Fund to be charged against profits in making assessments; and whether these amounts might be exempted, in view of the fact that the money subscribed has relieved the taxpayer of charges which would otherwise have been imposed upon him?
§ The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER (Mr. McKenna)I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on the 24th February last to similar questions put to my predecessor by the hon. Members for Sheffield (Ecclesall) and Leith Burghs.
