HC Deb 10 February 1953 vol 511 cc21-2W
68. Mr. Glenvil Hall

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if donations made by taxpayers under Schedule D to the fund now being raised to help sufferers from the recent East Coast floods, will be allowed for Income Tax purposes.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I am afraid I cannot see my way to authorise any exception in the case of this fund from the general rule that donations to relief funds are not admissible as a deduction in computing profits for Income Tax purposes.
