HC Deb 25 April 1911 vol 24 c1577
Mr. STAVELEY-HILL

asked what was the amount of interest lost to the Imperial Exchequer by the postponement of payment of Income Tax by eight railway companies on the suggestion of the Inland Revenue?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

None, Sir.

Mr. HARRY LAWSON

May I ask whether, in a question of this sort, there is ever any surcharge involved on the officers implicated?

Mr. HOBHOUSE

No; I see no reason why there should be.
