HC Deb 21 February 1905 vol 141 cc774-5
MR. HAYDEN (Roscommon, S.)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer if, where an individual in response to a demand for income-tax submits through his solicitor a statement, the Commissioner of Inland Revenue is entitled to refuse to supply exemption forms; and if, in spite of the knowledge so conveyed as to the applicant's income, which is under the statutable amount, the Commissioner issues an order for distraint, he will state what action he will take in the matter if the papers in a case in which this has been done are laid before him.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

If the hon. Member will send me full particulars of the case he has in mind I shall be glad to have inquiry made and to send him a reply. At present I must confess that I am unable to understand the Question as it stands on the Notice Paper.
