§ Miss Richardsonasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will exempt community health workers from taxation on car allowances, telephone allowances and laundry bills.
§ Mr. RidleyNo. Any employee who receives an expense allowance from his or her employer which is greater than the admissible expenditure is taxable on the surplus. It would not be right to single out community health workers from among deserving groups for special tax privileges.
