HC Deb 23 May 1881 vol 261 c1053
BARON HENRY DE WORMS

asked the Postmaster General, Whether, having regard to the far greater convenience of the public, and to the saving which would be effected to the State, he will consider, in conjunction with the Board of Inland Revenue, the expediency of using the machinery of the Post Office for the collection of assessed taxes?

MR. FAWCETT

Sir, the Question concerns the Board of Inland Revenue and the Treasury rather than the Post Office; but if either of these bodies have any representation to make to the Post Office on the subject I need not say it will be carefully considered.
