§ MR. McCRAE (Edinburgh, E.)I beg to ask MR. Chancellor of the Exchequer if he can state in how many districts in London final notices for the payment of income-tax within seven days were issued prior to 16th February, whether such notices were served on all taxpayers in each district whose income-tax was unpaid at that date; and if he can state in how many districts the issue of second notices had not been completed on 16th February.
§ MR. ASQUITHTo answer my hon. friend's Question it would be necessary to call for returns from the several collectors, some 275 in number. To do so at the present moment would be a somewhat serious interference with the business of collection, which is still in progress; but in due course I will see that the information is obtained.
