§ Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the cost of supporting the children of Members of the European Parliament in educational institutions in Brussels and separately elsewhere in the European Community or Switzerland under the auspices of the European Community and paid for by public funds either of the United Kingdom or the EEC is treated as taxable income by the Inland Revenue in the United Kingdom; and, if not, whether he will give the reasons.
§ Mr. Peter ReesAs far as I am aware, no such costs are met out of the public funds of either the United Kingdom or the EEC. The question of taxability does not, therefore, arise.
