HC Deb 06 January 1916 vol 77 cc1107-8
71. Mr. GEORGE THORNE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has been able to make any arrangements for remitting solicitors' certificate duty in the case of solicitors serving with His Majesty's Forces?

Mr. McKENNA:

It has been arranged that relief from solicitors' certificate duty will be allowed by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue on application on behalf of the person concerned in respect of any period during which a solicitor is prevented from attending to his business through absence on active service with the naval and military forces.
