HC Deb 30 May 1940 vol 361 cc674-5W
Mr. Fleming

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will now consider granting more preferential treatment to those taxpayers serving in His Majesty's Forces in the matter of Income Tax assessments and/or the purchase of cigarettes in messes or Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes establishments at home?

Sir K. Wood

I do not see my way to adopt the proposal made in the first part of my hon. and learned Friend's Question. As regards the second part, I would refer my hon. and learned Friend to the statement made on 1st May by my predecessor in the Debate on the Tobacco Duties.
