§ MR. H. LEWIS (Flint Boroughs)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether clerks to the Land Tax Commissioners are bound to give notice to each Commissioner of Land Tax of the time and place at which meetings for the election of Commissioners of Income Tax are held; and whether the notice of such meetings appears otherwise than by way of advertisement in the London Gazette?
§ MR. HANBURYMeetings of Land Tax Commissioners for the election of General Commissioners of Income Tax are by law convened by the Board of Inland Revenue by notice in the Gazette. There is no statutory provision for any further notice.
§ MR. H. LEWISMay I ask whether it is not reasonable that notice should be given to the Land Tax Commissioners?
§ MR. HANBURYSo far as the Government is concerned, it has to see that the statutory provision is carried out.
