§ COLONEL ANSTRUTHER (Woodbridge)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board whether it is the case, that the amount of annual licences payable in January by any individual be paid into the nearest Post Office, and the licences received from the Postmaster, that the amount so paid is transmitted to the General Post Office in London, and thus lost to the country in which the money was paid, whereas, should the money be paid into a county town to the collector of Inland Revenue, that then the county would receive the benefit?
§ * THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. RITCHIE,) Tower Hamlets, St. George'sThe Value of licences taken out at Post Offices is paid over eventually to the credit of the account of the Inland Revenue at the Bank of England, and the Inland Revenue Department, in the Quarterly Return rendered to the Local Government Board, appropriates the proceeds to the credit of the administrative county in which such Post Offices are located.
