HC Deb 19 February 1919 vol 112 c949W
Sir M. DOCKRELL

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether Members of this House are entitled to relief from Income Tax upon that portion of their income which, in conformity with a recent Statute, they have expended in securing Parliamentary representation?

Mr. BALDWIN

The law does not allow any relief from Income Tax in respect of election expenses incurred by Parliamentary candidates.
