HC Deb 13 March 1919 vol 113 cc1442-3
68. Mr. ALFRED SHORT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has received a resolution from the Metropolitan (Saltley, Birmingham) Works Executive Committee urging that incomes up to £200 be free from Income Tax and that the abatement in respect of a wife or child should be the amount of tax on £50; and, if so, whether he can favour reform on the lines suggested?

Mr. BALDWIN

The question of the nature and extent of the reliefs allowed to taxpayers will be one of the subjects for investigation by the forthcoming Commission.
