§ 149. Mr. LORDENasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take the necessary steps to increase the allowance of one-sixth now allowed from gross rental, Schedule A, Income Tax, to one-third in view of the great increase in cost of all 906 repairs to house property, seeing that under the Increase of Rent and Mortgage Interest (Restriction) Act increases of rent cannot be made to meet this burden and that all classes of house property will be likely to fall into disrepair, particularly that owned by people who are entirely dependent upon the net receipts for a living?
§ Mr. BALDWINI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer given on the 17th February to a question on this subject by the hon. and gallant Member for Islington, East.
