MR. HAY MORGAN (Cornwall, Truro)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether his attention has been called to the fact that, although the Land Tax Commissioners Act, 1906, expressly states that the Treasury shall cause notice to be given to each Commissioner of all meetings of the Commissioners of the county, etc., the clerk to the Land Tax Commissioners in the Truro-Helston Division of Cornwall has failed to notify many of the Commissioners of meetings which have been held since that Act came into operation; and whether he will take such steps as will ensure obedience to the provisions of the Act.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. RUNCIMAN,) DewsburyI am informed that in the West Kerrier Division (in which Helston is situated) the provisions of the Act have been duly carried out. In the West Powder Division, however (which includes the city of Truro), the procedure prescribed by the Act does not appear to have been followed. This is doubtless due to some misapprehension on the part of the clerk to the Commissioners, and I have asked the Board of Inland Revenue to call his attention to the matter.
