HC Deb 04 July 1930 vol 240 c2310W
Mr. C. WILSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury for each of the last five years the gross payment to which Members of the House not in receipt of salaries as Ministers were entitled, the amount of Income Tax deducted, and the net payment?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The gross amounts paid to Members of the House for the last five years are as follow: 1925–6, £227,677; 1926–7, £228,057; 1927–8, £228,057; 1928–9, £227,299; 1929–30, £216,611. With regard to the second and third parts of the question, I would remind my hon. Friend that it is not the practice to make public particulars as to the Income Tax assessments upon particular classes of taxpayers.
