HC Deb 10 November 1969 vol 791 c31W
Mr. Ashton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will seek to levy a tax of 20s. in the £ sterling on fees paid to convicted persons or their wives by publishers.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

No. But I am aware of public concern about this matter and am considering whether it would be possible to take other measures for dealing with it.
