§ 62. Mr. EMLYN-JONESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that inspectors of taxes in certain districts are insisting upon the payment of interest on arrears of Excess Profits Duty in cases where companies went into voluntary liquidation before the Act making interest payable was passed; that as a consequence liquidators could make no provision for such claims in their liquidation accounts; and upon what grounds and whose authority such claims are now being put forward?
§ Mr. BALDWINI am not aware of the precise circumstances in the cases which the hon. Member has in mind, but if he will furnish me with particulars of any case in which it is suggested that interest should not have been charged, I will cause inquiry to be made in the matter.
