§ Mr. O'Brienasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that considerable hardship is being caused to widows of men who hold post-war credit certificates for Income Tax, inasmuch as these certificates will not be cashed until the widows attain the age of 60; and whether, in view of the circumstances, he will change the existing regulation.
§ Mr. Glenvil HallThe provisions under which repayments of Income Tax Post-War Credits for certain years are now being made to old people are contained in Section 26 of the Finance Act, 1946, and there is no power to depart from the age limits prescribed by that section.
