HC Deb 21 March 1904 vol 132 c236
MR. TREVELYAN) (Yorkshire, W.R., Elland

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has yet appointed a Committee to inquire into the Income-Tax, as promised by his predecessor; and, if so, of whom the Committee is composed, and what are the branches of the subject into which they are to inquire.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, E.

The subject has been engaging my attention, and I hope to be able to announce the terms of the reference and the composition of the Committee (which I have already expressed my intention of appointing) shortly after Easter.
