Question:367 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the income tax situation of persons (details supplied) who participated on a training programme and secured placement on a part-time basis with a company where they are allowed to go on a scheme earning a maximum of £50 per week without effecting their disability allowance; if his attention has further been drawn to the fact that they are liable for income tax on earnings over £100 and that their disability allowance is classified as income; the plans, if any, he has to redress this problem; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
