HC Deb 29 May 1919 vol 116 c1449W
Major COURTHOPE

asked the Financial Secretary to the War Office whether the Army record offices were placed on a military basis during the War; and whether the soldiers' privileges with regard to Income Tax extended to a retired sergeant-major, employed as orderly room clerk, who, in obedience to warrant officers' orders given under Appendix 27, Territorial Force Regulations, took up duties at the record office at Hounslow shortly after mobilisation and has continued in the employment throughout the War?

Mr. FORSTER

Only persons actually serving as officers or as soldiers are entitled to the special rates of Income Duty. If my hon. and gallant Friend has reason to think any mistake has been made, I shall be glad if he will furnish me with full particulars.
