§ Sir R. Gowerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to continue for the year 1940–41, the provisions of Section 11 of the Income Tax (No. 2) Act, 1939, which gives relief from Income Tax for 1939–40 in cases of diminution of earned income owing to circumstances connected with the war?
§ Sir J. SimonAs my hon. Friend is aware it is not customary to anticipate the Budget statement. But in the special circumstances I think it desirable to indicate that it is my intention to propose a similar relief for 1940–41 to that given for the current year.
