§ Dr. FORGANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the number of children in respect of whom rebate of Income Tax was allowed in the last year for which figures are available, and the total amount of tax so remitted?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENI regret I am unable to give either the numbers of children or the actual amount of tax remitted. The only information available is the aggregate amount of the children allowances made from income in determining liability to tax. For the year 1927–28 these allowances amounted to £39,500,000.
