§ 46. Mr. C. WILLIAMSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what instructions have been issued to inspec- 985 tors of taxes with regard to the reduction of assessment on property now being revalued under Schedule A?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEThe Commissioners of Inland Revenue, in the exercise of their statutory duties in relation to all the taxes placed under their care and management, have frequent occasion to give instructions and advice to their inspectors and other officers. These communications are conveyed sometimes orally and sometimes in writing. My right hon. Friend is not prepared to depart from the invariable practice by authorising the publication of internal communications of this character.
