Mr. Amoryasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider revising the Income Tax regulations to permit the necessary official expenses incurred by a High Sheriff to be allowed against Income Tax.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallNo.
Mr. Ivor Thomasasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that a Keighley taxpayer, of whose name he has been informed, has been requested to pay an amount of £8 10s. for tax under-deducted from the time he first started to draw old age pension; and as the mistake is solely the fault of the Income Tax authorities and as the demand is causing hardship to this old age pensioner, whether he will authorise its remission.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallI will write to the hon. Member about the case to which he refers.
