§ SIR HENRY WILLOUGHBYinquired of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether it was intended to proceed that evening with the Collection of Taxes Bill?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, that the course he proposed to take would, he thought, be convenient and satisfactory to the House. He proposed to go into Committee pro formâ that evening, with a view to introduce a number of Amendments. These Amendments would relate to the meetings of the Commissioners, to granting to present collectors fair considerations for their vested interests, to compensations to collectors whose services would not be continued, and also to a mode of enabling persons resident in country districts to pay their taxes by means of money orders instead of being required to visit the market town. In order that those Amendments might be intelligible it would be necessary to reprint the Bill. That course he proposed to take, and to fix the Committee for a distant day, say about the middle of April.
