HC Deb 22 May 1924 vol 173 c2396
62. Mr. HANNON

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the arrears of Income Tax and Super-tax remaining unpaid on 31st March, 1924, and the arrears which, for the purposes of his Budget, he anticipates will remain unpaid on 31st March, 1925?

Mr. SNOWDEN

As regards arrears at the 31st March, 1924, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply (of which I am sending him a copy) given on the 15th April to a question by the hon. Member for Bradford, South (Mr. H. H. Spencer). The Budget Estimates take account of many factors, including a forecast of the amount of arrears at the 31st March, 1925, but I should be rash at present to give a quantitative measurement to each separate factor.
