HC Deb 24 November 1970 vol 807 c62W
50. Mr. Hardy

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will propose in his Budget that examination fees and other expenses incurred by individuals in pursuit of further qualifications to advance career prospects and to improve income should be recognised as expenses for tax purposes.

Mr. Maurice Macmillan

I have noted the hon. Member's suggestion; but I fear that I could not recommend the suggested widening of the expenses rule.
