§ Sir R. Glynasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the estimated loss of production and cost in wages if Saturday, 8th June, is to be considered as a holiday; and whether such loss to firms in wages and output will be allowed for in assessing for tax purposes.
§ Mr. Dalton:No such estimate is available, but a trader who gives his employees a holiday with pay on 8th June may deduct the pay in computing his trading profits for tax purposes.
