asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any circular or other communication was sent by the Inland Revenue Department at Somerset House to local inspectors of taxes following upon the passage of the Finance Act, 1932, instructing them to disallow relief from Income Tax in respect of all disablement benefits except war disablement pensions; and, if so, whether he will circulate a copy of the instruction with his answer?

I am informed that no such instruction was issued.
