§ MR. BRIGHT (Shropshire, Oswestry)To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the number of assessments upon which income-tax was collected in each of the years ending 31st March, 1903, 1904, and 1905.
(Answered by Mr. Victor Cavendish.) I am not prepared to go to the very large extra expense which would be entailed by the preparation of a Return showing the number of assessments collected by the 31st of March in the years mentioned, but the hon. Member will, I think, obtain sufficient information for any purpose he has in view from the Return promised by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the hon. Member for East Edinburgh.
