HC Deb 10 November 1977 vol 938 c186W
Mr. Crawford

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to abolish taxation at standard rate on awards, bursaries and other scholarships awarded by the Scottish Arts Council which are currently being assessed as earned income.

Mr. Robert Sheldon:

I see no reason why the tax treatment of these awards should not be decided in accordance with the normal rules.
