§ 15. Mr. Milneasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what claims against Income Tax can be made by travel agents or tour operators who fly holidaymakers to their destinations free of charge and only require payment for hotel accommodation.
§ Mr. MacDermotTravel agents and tour operators are chargeable to Income Tax according to the normal rules and are entitled to allowances, reliefs and deductions on the same basis as other traders.
§ Mr. MilneIs my hon. and learned Friend aware that many holidaymakers recently let down by a leading tour operator have been told by this tour operator that they have no redress on the question of delay in air travel because of Income Tax concessions which have been given to it by the Treasury?
§ Mr. MacDermotI am quite unaware of that. If my hon. Friend will give me details, I shall be glad to look into it. I do not see how there can be any basis for such a statement.
