§ Mr. KETTLEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the allowances, made to officers of the Royal Irish Constabulary for the maintenance of servants are exempted from liability to income-tax; and whether this practice has the sanction of Statute and the approval of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEPayment of income tax on these allowances has been waived since they were first granted, and my right hon. Friend does not think there is ground for modifying the existing practice.
