HC Deb 28 November 1922 vol 159 c526W
Lieut.-Colonel POWNALL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to the Report of the Select Committee dealing with the employment of ex-service men; and whether, in view of there being over 100,000 disabled ex-service men unemployed, he will consider increasing the Income Tax of those employers not on the King's Roll of Honour, thus following the precedent set during the War of increasing the Income Tax on those foreign securities not deposited with the Government under the Treasury Deposit Sale Bank?

Mr. BALDWIN

My hon. Friend's suggestion for differential taxation presents many difficulties which, in my view, would be conclusive against it.
