§ MR. HULSE (Salisbury)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, Whether he can see his way clear to carry out the proposed reform during the coming year, by the abolition of the poundage paid as remuneration to the collectors of Income Tax, and the substitution of fixed salaries in lieu thereof?
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN) (St. George's, Hanover Square)The hon. Gentleman will, no doubt, remember that I expressed my anxiety to deal with this question last Session if time permitted. I was prevented from doing so; but if time permits I hope to be able to make a proposal to the House on the subject during the present Session.
