§ 61. Mrs. Middletonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will relax the regulations governing the payment of Income Tax post-war credits in cases such as that of the late Mr. W. G. Harwood, of Plymouth, who died intestate, but about whose intention that the credits should pass to his mother there is no doubt, and about whose estate the hon. Member for Sutton, Plymouth, has recently been in correspondence with the Treasury.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallI have no power to authorise payment of a post-war credit where it is not due under the relevant statutory provisions.
§ Mrs. MiddletonWhile thanking my right hon. Friend for the sympathetic and understanding letter I received from him concerning this case, may I ask him whether he will take early steps to see that cases such as this, deserving compassionate treatment, are treated in a special class and are given all the consideration they deserve?
§ Mr. Glenvil HallI will convey to my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer what my hon. Friend has just said.
