HC Deb 07 April 1925 vol 182 cc2016-7
53. Mr. JACOB

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, with the purpose of encouraging the employment of disabled ex-service men, he will consider in such cases exempting the employer from the Excise Duty on male servants?

Mr. CHURCHILL

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion.

Mr. MAXTON

Does the right hon. Gentleman seriously believe it is de-desirable to subsidise the patriotism of the wealthiest sections of the community, as suggested in the question?

Mr. CHURCHILL

The question bears upon the employment of wounded or disabled ex-service men, and it is from that point of view that I am giving it consideration.
