§ MR. EDMUND ROBERTSON (Dundee)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention has been called to cases in which the Inland Revenue has obtained, under threat of legal process, payment of claims which have been afterwards judicially declared to be legally untenable; whether, notwithstanding such decisions, the Inland Revenue retains the money so illegally demanded and paid; and, if so, whether he will cause this practice to be discontinued.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY(Mr. VICTOR CAVENDISH,) Derbyshire, W.No such case has been brought to my right hon. friend's knowledge; but, if the hon. Member will give details of specific instances, he will have them inquired into.
