§ 53. Lieut.-Colonel Liptonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will grant Income Tax relief to parents on amounts deducted from State scholarships on account of parental means.
§ Mr. H. BrookeI am afraid I cannot answer Questions about tax relief at this time of year.
§ Lieut.-Colonel LiptonWill the Financial Secretary at least say that this matter has been or is receiving some consideration with a view to appropriate action being taken on these lines?
§ Mr. BrookeI can certainly say that the Chancellor of the Exchequer is reviewing the whole tax position over the entire range, and I think that the hon. and gallant Gentleman must wait another 12 days for the Budget.
