§ 57. Miss Irene Wardasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total amount of post-war credits due to Service personnel which was cancelled on discharge to pay arrears of Income Tax due.
§ Sir S. CrippsI regret that this information is not available.
§ Miss WardAm I to understand from that answer that some post-war credits 1068 have been cancelled in respect of arrears of Income Tax?
§ Sir S. CrippsNo, Sir. The hon. Lady can understand that the information is not available.
§ Lieut.-Commander BraithwaiteWas it not the case that certain post-war credits were set off against claims in the financial year 1945–46, and might not that prove to be a valuable precedent for subsequent years in which tax has been demanded from ex-Service personnel?
§ Sir S. CrippsThat is another question.
