§ MR. HEALYasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether any inquiry would be granted into the Colclough stamp frauds; and, whether it would be conducted independently; and, if so, by whom?
§ LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISHSir, all the facts of the Colclough stamp frauds have been fully elicited in the long trial which has terminated in the conviction of Colclough. No further inquiry appears, therefore, to be necessary. The Board of Inland Revenue are taking every precaution to prevent the recurrence of similar frauds in the future.
§ MR. HEALYasked whether the Estimate for the Department in which these frauds occurred had yet to be discussed?
§ LORD FREDERICK CAVENDISH, in reply, said, that the salary for this official was included in the Inland Revenue Department Vote, which had been taken.
