HC Deb 07 May 1925 vol 183 c1184W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what is the practice of the different self-governing Dominions in regard to relief of appointed governors in direct taxation, and in regard to Customs duties on things a new-appointed governor may feel it necessary to bring into the Dominion for purposes of entertainment?

Mr. ORMSBY-GORE

So far as I am aware, the general practice in the self-governing Dominions is to grant exemption of Income Tax on the official salary of the Governor-General or Governor, and also of Customs Duties on articles imported for his personal use.
