HC Deb 27 July 1961 vol 645 cc72-3W
40. Mr. Dodds

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many claims were made to the Inland Revenue in the last financial year for tax relief in respect of travelling expenses caused through change of work owing to the 1939–45 war; and what were the comparable figures for 1952–53, 1953–54, 1954–55, and 1959–60, respectively.

Sir E. Boyle

There are no regular statistics of these claims. The number in 1953–54 was estimated at 140,000 and it is believed now to have fallen to about 100,000.
