§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received in favour of the introduction of legislation to treat as benefits in kind for tax purposes the official accommodation, cars, and other facilities provided for Ministers of the Crown; what reply he has given; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Normon LamontNone. Whether or not official accommodation, car and other facilities provided for Ministers of the Crown are treated as benefits in kind for tax purposes is determined, according to the facts of each case, under the same legislation which deals with the taxation of benefits in kind received by office holders generally.
