HC Deb 14 March 1912 vol 35 c1279
Mr. STANIER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that the collector of Inland Revenue threatened Mr. John Evans, of Market Drayton, that if he did not pay the amount due from him for Income Tax by 28th February that he would put in a bailiff, and that the superior officer at Crewe supported this action; and whether these officials were acting under instructions from the Treasury?

Mr. MASTERMAN

I am aware of the circumstances to which the hon. Member refers, and I am not aware that there has been any departure from the usual procedure in such cases.

Mr. STANIER

Has the hon. Gentleman made any inquiries?

Mr. MASTERMAN

If the hon. Gentleman will communicate with me, I will very gladly go into the case.
