§ 58. Mr. Stokesasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether salaries paid to His Majesty's Ambassadors in Foreign countries are subject to British Income Tax?
§ The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Captain Crookshank)Yes, Sir, but expenses allowances are not, since they represent provision for the expenses connected with the Ambassadors' duties and are not emoluments.
§ Mr. StokesAre we to understand that the salaries paid to Ambassadors are or are not subject to tax?
§ Captain CrookshankI said "Yes, Sir." That means that they are.
