Mr. ELLIS DA VIESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the sums, representing workmen's compensation awards, invested in War Loan, 321W and that the persons entitled thereto, as a rule widows and children, are not subject to Income Tax, he can see his way to give instructions that that tax shall not be deducted on the interest, and so obviate a number of reclaims by very poor people?
§ Mr. McKENNAI understand that investment of these funds by the County Court authorities is made through the medium of the Post Office Savings Bank, and that the interest is accordingly paid without deduction of Income Tax.
