HC Deb 15 May 1918 vol 106 cc358-9
53. Sir CHARLES HENRY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state the number of payers of Income Tax last year whose incomes ranged from £130 to £300?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The information asked for is not available.

55. Sir F. BLAKE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that Income Tax is being deducted from payments made to officers in respect of their children; and whether, seeing that such payments are in the nature of allowances as distinct from pay, he will state under what legal authority those deductions are made?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I would refer my hon. Friend to the answers given on the 16th and 24th April to questions on this subject asked respectively by the hon. Member for the Everton Division and by the right hon. Member for Woolwich, of which I am sending him copies.
