HC Deb 07 May 1931 vol 252 c542
66. Sir PATRICK FORD

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he will now give a statement showing such details as are available regarding the incidence and collection of cess in Scotland?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I am sending the hon. Member such information as I have been able to obtain in this matter.

Sir P. FORD

Have the Government taken into consideration any steps to simplify the method and incidence of collection with regard to wiping out the anomaly of the cess tax?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

That is a separate question, and if the hon. Member will put it down I will certainly endeavour to give him an answer.
