HC Deb 03 December 1963 vol 685 cc142-3W
41. Sir B. Janner

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that post-graduate students receiving grants from sources other than the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research have to pay Income Tax on their grants; and if he will take steps to remove this disability from such students who are engaged in identical work to those who receive grants from the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.

Mr. Green

If the hon. Member will send me particulars of the grants other than Department of Scientific and Industrial Research post-graduate studentships of which he is thinking I will look into the question whether they are covered by the exemption in the Income Tax Acts in favour of certain scholarships.
