§ 34. Sir CHARLES OMANasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will recommend the disuse of the Income Tax rebate official form R41–3, which summons Income Tax payers to appear in person before the inspector of taxes, bringing with them share and stock certificates and other documents relative to their income, this form being at the present time sent to many persons, including the aged and infirm; and whether he will substitute a form permitting them to submit evidence from 2002 their bankers or solicitors to the same effect?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI would invite the attention of my hon. Friend to the statement made on this subject in the course of the Debate on the Finance Bill in Committee and to the reply given on the 19th June to my hon. Friend the Member for Guildford. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the statement and of the reply.
§ Sir C. OMANDoes the right hon. Gentleman understand that this question is quite distinct from the parallel question to which he has referred, and will he give attention to the possibility of varying the form of the official notice?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI will look into it.
