HC Deb 11 May 1925 vol 183 cc1447-8
78. Major HOREBELISHA

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the increased financial and official responsibilities assumed by the collectors of inland revenue, he will consider the advisability of so amending the Regulations governing their appointments that they will be transfered from the basis of annual reappointments to that of permanent appointments during the pleasure of the Commissioners or other appointing authorities, in order to bring them into line with other civil servants?

Mr. GUINNESS

The change suggested would require legislation, and it is only part of a larger problem. The matter is engaging attention, but I cannot anticipate the decision that may be reached
