§ 34. Mr. Martenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on the taxation of salaries and other emoluments of Members of any European Assembly.
§ Mr. Denzil Davies:Current United Kingdom members of the European Assembly are not salaried. Any allowances received for this duty count as taxable incomes in the United Kingdom to the extent that they exceed the expenses necessarily incurred. Discussion is continuing within the EEC on the provision of salaries and allowances for future, directly-elected Members of the Assembly. But, as yet, no firm proposals have been made about taxation.
