HC Deb 13 March 1890 vol 342 cc705-6
MR. COBB (Warwick, S.E., Rugby)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can state the number and the names of the districts in which additional Commissioners of Income Tax have been appointed by the General Commissioners, and are now acting, under the 5th and 6th Vic. c. 35?

* THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. GOSCHEN,) St. George's, Hanover Square

I believe that the information could be given, but it would entail considerable trouble to collect. If, however, the hon. Member desires information about particular districts, and will communicate with me, I will do my best to meet his wishes.

MR. COBB

Can the right hon. Gentleman give me the approximate number of cases in which additional Commissioners have been appointed? I understand that they are very few.

* MR. GOSCHEN

I have not got the information now; but I will make inquiry.
