§ 66. Mr. GROVESasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the St. Mary's Shipping Company, Cardiff, has been, since 1921, a debtor to the inland revenue; if not, when such circumstances ceased; whether he will state to date the actual amount of the taxation liabilities of this company to the Crown; whether this company is still operating; with whom are arrangements made for the settlement of the amounts due to the Crown; and whether he will give a full statement of the arrangements agreed to?
§ Major ELLIOTThe Commissioners of Inland Revenue are precluded by Statute from disclosing information regarding the liability to taxation of a particular taxpayer. I may, however, say that the taxation liabilities of the company in question have been settled. The company is, I understand, still operating.
§ Mr. GROVESCan the Financial Secretary state whether those liabilities have been met?
