§ MR. MONKsaid, he would beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether the Government has taken into consideration the often expressed opinion 1087 of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, that advantage would accrue to the Revenue by the transfer of the Assessed Taxes from the hands of Parochial Officers to the sole management and collection of the Department of Inland Revenue; and, if so, whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce any Measure to effect that object?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERsaid, in reply, that he had already stated, in answer to his hon. Friend the Member for Walsall (Mr. C. Forster), that he entirely agreed in opinion with those who objected to the present mode of collection. Having made that statement, and having now repeated it, he hoped his hon. Friend would so far moderate his zeal as to allow him his own time and his own way to effect the object in view.
