§ 38. Major McKENZIE WOODasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that it is now the practice of the inspectors of taxes when making repayments of Income Tax to make payment by means of repayment orders, which must be crossed and passed through a bank, and that this inflicts unnecessary and unwarrantable inconvenience on claimants who have no bank account and must get a friend or tradesman to cash the orders for them; and whether he will instruct repayment of these claims to be made, as previously, by means of Post Office money orders, which are equally economical and secure?
Mr. GRAHAMI would refer the hon. and gallant Member to the reply which I gave to a question on this subject on the 27th February last. I am sending him a copy of that reply.
