HC Deb 17 December 1963 vol 686 c182W
Mr. A. Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the practice of the Inland Revenue to subject to Income Tax and Profits Tax relief gifts of money from commercial firms to political parties.

Mr. Green

No. No deduction is admissible in computing profits for Income Tax or Profits Tax purposes for payments by traders to political party funds.
