LORD CLITHEROE HITS HARD AT SELECmVE


QTRONG criticism of the Selective Employment Tax^ ^lucli he-urged the Govern-. ment to scrap, was made by Lord Clitheroe. of Dowhtiam Hall, when he spoke


in the Economic debate in the Lords. Lora Clitheroe also alleged that we had got oursselves into a most ghastly


muddle over taxation. He added, “Almost every business decision, and I have


to be involved in taking quite a few, is now delayed and frustrated by tax complications which, occupy the time of many of the most able men in the country; and what is more they have reduced the consecientious and hardworking men in the Department of Inland Revenue almost to despair.” Lord Clitheroe then hit out at the selective employment


tax. He said, "On top of all the


horrors of last year’s Finance Bill, we now have the selective employment tax. “That is a tax which penal­


ises commerce, the very sec­ tion of the economy which is earning a vast amount of for­ eign currency, for example in banking, insurance and the tourist industry; and it sub­ sidises over- employment in industry which is one of the


major causes of our stagnant productivity.”


‘Shake-out’


Prime Minister himself recog­ nised the need for a “shake­ out” of labour, and yet at the same time the selective em­ ployment tax had been im­ posed, creating an immense amount of work and having exactly the opposite effect of what was needed.


Lord Clitheroe said that the


and to replace its necessary deflationary effect by cutting down current expenditure, and borrowing by the anyiunt which the tax is designed to bring in.”


“I should like to replace it


taxation as it was at present was a very great disincentive to earnings.


Lord Clitheroe said that “I believe in high product­


ivity and high wages and in incentives both to workers and to work-providers, who are Just as important, to do

Remember that they, in turn; have to convince their mem­

bers," he said. Lord Clitheroe asked, “Can


you wonder that the leaders of industry are mad at the imposition of a tax like the selective employment ax, on which they were never con­ sulted at ail? Can you won­ der that the leaders of the unions are deeply distressed by some of the aspects of the White Paper on the prices and incomes stand­ still which we are to disouss on Wednesday?


tinued, “that wages have been allowed to run away and that deflationary measures should have been taken sooner; that is common ground. We know that it is essential to - call a halt; the Government tells us that and we believe it. It is quite another thing—and a panic measure—to legislate to compel employers to break the solemn undertakings they have given to workers in res­ pect of agreements already made Nothing could shake confidence more in industrial relations, and it is confidence we now need so badly.”
