§ MR. WOODS (Lancashire, Ince)I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer—(1) whether, in addition to the ordinary Commissioners of Income Tax in Wigan, there are appointed other additional Commissioners; and, if so, how many, and what are their names; and (2) whether it would be competent for any person seeking remission from unfair taxation to appear before the 1647 Commissioners by a non-legal representative?
§ SIR W. HARCOURT(1) I am informed that in the Division of Wigan there are no "Additional" Commissioners. Their duties are performed by the "General" Commissioners. (2) This is a matter which must be regarded as within the discretion of the Commissioners. I have already informed the hon. Member what is the strict legal position.
