§ Mr. Lubbockasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why it is possible to dial direct to the Inland Revenue offices designated London Provincial 1, 2 and 3 at the local call rate, whereas London Provincial 4 requires a trunk call.
§ Mr. GreenThe Inland Revenue has a public inquiry office in London for taxpayers whose tax affairs are dealt with in London Provincial 4th District. The inquiry office is connected by teleprinter to London Provincial 4th District at Manchester and any urgent inquiries can be answered in this way. I understand that these arrangements are working satisfactorily, but if the hon. Member has any information to the contrary perhaps he would write to me.
