§ MR. JOHN O'CONNORI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether it is the custom of the Inland Revenue Department in Great Britain to collect all moneys for the local taxation account free of charge; does a like custom prevail in Ireland; and are fees charged in either country for auditing the accounts of local authorities.
§ MR. MCKENNANo charge is made by the Inland Revenue Department for the collection of moneys for the local taxation account either in Great Britain or Ireland. In both England and Ireland I am informed that in eases where their accounts are audited by Government auditors payments are made by the local authorities in respect of this audit.
