§ 39. Sir I. Fraserasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider applying to Britain the Canadian practice of no taxation on an individual owner-occupier in respect of his house so as to encourage people to buy and build their own houses.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterThe question of the taxation of owner-occupied houses is before the Royal Commission on the Income Tax and my right hon. Friend must await their report before reviewing the matter.
§ Sir I. FraserWill the Chancellor and his assistants try to give this matter some thought before the next Budget, as it seems a rather good suggestion?
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterWe must await the views of the Royal Commission.
