§ 63. Mr. BENSONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will cause a statement to be prepared showing for each of the financial years 1932 to 1933, 1933 to 1934, 1934 to 1935, and 1935 to 886 1936, the approximate total Income Tax, excluding Sur-tax, assessed in and for the year, and collected by 1st January, 1st February, 1st March, and 31st March in each year, respectively, for the City of London, for the whole of England, excluding the City of London, for the whole of Scotland, and for the whole of Northern Ireland?
§ Mr. W. S. MORRISONMy right hon. Friend regrets that he is unable to furnish this information. In the case of the Income Tax that is assessed locally, assessments may be made for any year within six years of the end of that year and accordingly the assessments made in a given year may include assessments for past years in addition to the main assessment for the current year. Moreover, he cannot undertake to analyse the receipts of the Income Tax on the lines indicated in the concluding part of the hon. Member's question.
