§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, since the present daily attendance allowance paid tax-free to Members of the House of Lords is worth to most of them on a normal tax basis as much as £100 a day and, having regard to the Government's policy of cuts in public expenditure, why he will not seek to tax these and similar payments.
§ Sir Geoffrey HoweI shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
