HC Deb 21 March 1929 vol 226 c1850
48. Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that threats of legal proceedings are being sent to Income Taxpayers who have paid the whole of their Income Tax with the exception of small sums which are in dispute; and whether he will issue instructions that this practice shall cease?

Mr. CHURCHILL

If my hon. and gallant Friend has in mind any case in which he considers that demands for payment of Income Tax are being improperly pursued, and will let me have the necessary particulars, I will gladly have the matter investigated, and will communicate the result to him.

Lieut.-Colonel ACLAND-TROYTE

Is my right hon. Friend aware that I have sent a case to the Financial Secretary, and will he inquiry into it?

Mr. CHURCHILL

Yes, Sir, it will be gone into expeditiously and promptly by persons having full authority to settle.
