§ 49. Mr. Stokesasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer which of the seven plots of land at Abbotsinch purchased from seven different owners were regarded as capital sales?
§ Sir K. WoodI am not prepared to furnish information relating to the question of the liability to taxation of particular sales of land, as the disclosure would involve a breach of the statutory rule that particulars of the Income Tax assessment are confidential.
§ Mr. StokesMight I ask the Chancellor to answer my Question? I would remind him that he has already told me that revenue sales may not be disclosed. I have now asked him which are capital sales, not liable to Income Tax.
§ Sir K. WoodIt comes to the same thing.
§ Mr. MaxtonWhy should the Chancellor of the Exchequer cover up the unfortunate investments of the late Air Minister?
