§ 46. Mr. Evelyn Walkdenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that a cheque for £638 sent to the Collector of Taxes, High Holborn, by a Blackpool taxpayer was returned to the sender because it was Is. 3d. short of the account owing; why a postal order was not asked for to cover this small amount; and what were the reasons for the return of this large cheque.
§ The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Sir John Anderson)I cannot deal with the taxation liability of particular individuals by way of question and answer but I have written to my hon. Friend in reply to the letter which he sent me about this matter.
§ Mr. WalkdenIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that he has since returned the cheque to me in the same letter?
§ Sir J. AndersonI am aware that that particular cheque proved particularly elusive. I am looking into what happened.
