HC Deb 14 February 1961 vol 634 c1235
36. Mr. Hendry

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the consultations with the various churches about Income Tax relief for the clergy, promised by his predecessor on 6th July, 1960, have been completed.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

Discussions with representatives of the Churches' Main Committee have taken place at Somerset House.

Mr. Hendry

While thanking my right hon. and learned Friend for that reply, may I ask him if he will answer the Question? Are the consultations complete, and if they are not complete, does he expect them to be completed in time for the forthcoming Budget?

Mr. Lloyd

So far as I know, the Churches' Main Committee has made all the representations it wishes to make.
