HC Deb 13 March 1919 vol 113 c1442
64. Sir JOHN BUTCHER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to encourage the better education of the younger generation and to mitigate the hardships of the incidence of the Income Tax, he will favourably consider the granting, in addition to the existing £30 abatement in respect of each child, of an abatement not exceeding £50 to cover the expenses actually incurred in his or her education?

Mr. BALDWIN

I would refer my hon. and learned Friend to the answer which I gave to a similar question by my hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle North on the 20th ultimo.

Sir J. BUTCHER

Is the answer a favourable one?

Mr. BALDWIN

I do not know whether my hon. Friend will consider it favourable.
