§ 62. Mr. Bingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what deductions, by way of Income Tax, are made from the pay of members of the Polish Armed Forces who have not joined the Polish Resettlement Corps; and what are the present methods of assessing their liability for tax.
§ Mr. DaltonThis pay is not charged to Income Tax, but has been fixed at lower rates than British rates in order to allow for this.
§ Mr. BingWill my right hon. Friend say whether it is possible, in the legislation that is now going through the House, for the same rate to be charged as that which is charged to British soldiers?
§ Mr. DaltonI think that the legislation going through this House has had a pretty good run already, from what I have read in the Press, and that the sooner it is passed into law the better. This is a separate matter which, in any case, could not be conveniently dealt with in that Bill, and in view of the terms of my answer there is no discrimination.
