HC Deb 03 December 1936 vol 318 cc1432-3
68. Mr. MANDER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is able to state, approximately, the amount of revenue that is obtained annually for Income Tax purposes in cases where it appears that sums entered as expenses have been used for the purposes of bribery or secret commissions and tax is obtained either from the recipients or the donors?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

No, Sir. No statistics are available which would enable such an estimate to be made.

Mr. MANDER

Are we to assume that the amount is substantial?

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN

As I have no statistics, I cannot say whether it is substantial or not.
