§ Mr. EDGAR JONESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether workmen's halls and institutes, not run for profit and maintained by the subscriptions of working men, are liable for Income Tax; and, if so, whether he will take steps to exempt such philanthropic institutions from the payment of rates and taxes?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. With regard to the second part I do not see that there is adequate ground for affording the exemption suggested.
