HC Deb 28 February 1922 vol 151 cc258-9
70. Major HILLS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the grounds on which the Inland Revenue have decided that allowances to children of soldiers killed in the War are subject to Income Tax?

Mr. YOUNG

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the reply, a copy of which I am sending him, given on 20th October last to the hon. and gallant Member for Moss-Side (Lieut.-Colonel Hurst).

Major HILLS

On what ground was it decided that these allowances which are paid to children of soldiers killed in the War should be subject to Income Tax when allowances paid to Members of Parliament are not so subject?

Mr. SPEAKER

That question is similar to the one on the Paper.
