asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that many recent visitors to Britain from our Dominions and Colonies chose to shorten their sojourn here because of their liability to British income taxation upon their colonial incomes after the expiry of six months, he will take such steps as may be necessary to extend the period of immunity from British taxes in order to encourage visitors to the coming exhibition from the distant parts of the Empire to make a longer stay?

I do not think that the case cited by the hon. Member affords any adequate reason for a modification of the existing law governing the liability to Income Tax of visitors to this country.

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether any steps have been taken to extend to South Africa, Australia and New Zealand the same privileges with regard to the importation of stock into the United Kingdom as those recently extended to Canada?

So far as store cattle are concerned, the Ministry is unaware of a demand on the part of the Dominions in question for facilities to import store cattle. With regard to the importation into this country of live stock other than store cattle, the same conditions apply to all four Dominions.

asked the Minister of Agriculture whether any steps have been taken to fulfil the promise that his Department would, in consultation with the Scottish Board, frame a Bill for Scotland on the lines of the Salmon and Freshwater Fisheries Act?

I think that some misapprehension has arisen on this subject. Any questions relating to amendment or consolidation of the law relating to salmon or freshwater fisheries in Scotland fall to be dealt with, not by my Department, but by my right hon. Friend the Secretary for Scotland and the Fishery Board for Scotland. I would refer to the reply which was given by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health for Scotland to the hon. Member's question on the 26th June, 1923.
