Income Tax (Travelling Expenses)

HC Deb 23 February 1960 vol 618 cc32-3W

64. Mr. Gresham Cooke

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the charge on the national Exchequer if the cost of travelling from home to place of business and vice versa were to be allowed as a deduction for tax purposes.

Mr. Amory

I regret that the information on which to base a specific estimate is not available but the charge would clearly be substantial.
