HC Deb 01 August 1946 vol 426 c1222
73. Mr. Gammans

asked the Minister of Education what financial assistance is being given to the teachers who are spending a year in the U.S.A., in view of the increasing cost of living there and the fact that they will have to pay British Income Tax during this period.

Mr. Hardman

I have nothing to add to the answer given by my right hon. Friend to the hon. Member on the 18th July.

Mr. Gammans

Does the hon. Gentleman realise that it is quite useless to send these teachers to the United States expecting them to pay British Income Tax in the meanwhile and to live over there decently and adequately in view of the high cost of living in America today?

Mr. Hardman

I have nothing to add to the answer already given.
