CENTRAL BOARD OF REVENUE.

HC Deb 14 April 1930 vol 237 cc2605-6

1. Mr. DAY

asked the Secretary of State for India the names of the persons serving on the Central Board of Revenue appointed by the Government of India under the Indian Central Board of Revenue Act, 1924; and can he state what administrative functions are discharged by this Board?

The SECRETARY of STATE for INDIA (Mr. Wedgwood Benn)

I am circulating this information.

Mr. DAY

Can my right hon. Friend say the number of persons serving on the Central Board of Revenue, and by whom they are appointed?

Mr. BENN

I do not think that that information was asked for in the question.

Following is the information:

The members of the Board are Messrs. A. R. L. Tottenham, C.I.E., I.C.S., and A. H. Lloyd, C.I.E., I.C.S. The Board, whose powers and duties are defined in certain Indian statutes, is mainly concerned with the administration of the law relating to Customs, Income Tax, opium and salt, and—so far as the Central Government is concerned with these subjects—Excise and Stamp Duties.
