HC Deb 19 November 1918 vol 110 c3349W
Mr. JOWETT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether a soldier discharged medically unfit with an ulcerated leg as a result of enteric fever contracted on active service is entitled to deduct the cost of bandages from the assessment of his income for Income Tax?

Mr. BONAR LAW

The Income Tax Acts expressly prohibit the allowance to any taxpayer of deductions in respect of expenditure of a personal character such as that suggested by the hon. Member.
