HC Deb 18 May 1966 vol 728 cc270-1W
Mr. Roebuck

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, for the purposes of the Selective Employment Tax, he will treat freelance journalists and agencies supplying news to newspapers in the same way as the proprietors and printers of newspapers.

Mr. Diamond

No, but I would remind my hon. Friend that the tax will not be charged in respect of self-employment.
