HC Deb 05 September 1940 vol 365 c14
19. Mr. Mander

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the present position with regard to the War Savings (Determination of Needs) Bill; and whether consideration has been given to the inclusion of allowances made by public assistance committees?

Sir K. Wood

This matter is still under consideration, and I am not in a position to make a statement at present. The reply given to my hon. Friend's Question on 22nd August was the result of the consideration given to the point raised in the second part of the Question.

Mr. Mander

Is not the Chancellor aware that this point was raised by the Leader of the Liberal party during the original discussion? Will he consult with the Secretary of State for Air?

Sir K. Wood

I am glad to consult with anybody who can give me any assistance.
