§ 62. Mr. I. J. Pitmanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether income to be received by a mother as children's allowance will be treated as part of any husband's, not being the father or putative father, income for Income Tax purposes.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonYes, Sir, if husband and wife are living together
§ Mr. PitmanIs the Chancellor of the Exchequer aware that that is a misunderstanding of the Question? What I am seeking is that he should bear in mind the widows of men killed in this war, who will have children, and who may seek again to marry. Will he sympathetically consider their interests, of the liabilities to which they are likely to be subjected?
§ Mr. MorrisonI am sorry if we have misunderstood the point. I will see that that is conveyed to my right hon. Friend.
