HC Deb 30 October 1919 vol 120 c883
77. Mr. JAMESON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been drawn to the resolution passed by the Association of British Chambers of Commerce Taxation Committee and submitted to the Royal Commission on Income Tax by Sir Algernon Firth, baronet, ex-president of the Associated Chambers and president of the Federation of British Industries, to the effect that the Government may be assured that, if heavy Income Tax is unavoidable, the commercial community will shoulder the burden?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

The answer is in the affirmative.
