HC Deb 24 April 1951 vol 487 cc205-6
49. Mr. Fitzroy Maclean

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, under his regulations, peace prizes paid by foreign governments to individuals in this country are liable to United Kingdom Income Tax.

Mr. Gaitskell

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave to the hon. and gallant Member for Portsmouth, West (Brigadier Clarke), on 17th April.

Mr. Godfrey Nicholson

Could we not give the Dean of Canterbury as a peace prize to the Soviet Union?

Mr. Gaitskell

The hon. Member will not expect me to say anything about the tax affairs of individual taxpayers.
