HC Deb 25 January 1940 vol 356 c809W
Mr. Wakefield

asked the Secretary of State for Air the amount of money held on 2nd January, 1940, by Messrs. Glyn Mills and Company (Holts Branch), the appointed Royal Air Force agents, on account of Income Tax that they have deducted from the pay of officers of the Royal Air Force, which is due by them but not yet paid to the Exchequer?

Sir K. Wood

The sum requisitioned by the Royal Air Force agents from the Air Ministry and credited to the accounts of officers of the Royal Air Force is the net amount of pay due to them after deduction of Income Tax. No sum of money representing Income Tax so deducted is, therefore, at any time held by the agents.
