Sir A. Beit

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will give an estimate of the amount which would have been saved to the Exchequer, in one of the years immediately preceding the outbreak of war, had there been no Income Tax relief in respect of children?

Sir K. Wood

The cost of the Income Tax relief in respect of children was £15,000,000 for the year 1938–9.
