Temporary Officers (Income Tax Accounts)

HC Deb 05 May 1948 vol 450 cc1252-3

32. Lieut.-Commander Gurney Braithwaite

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Admiralty whether temporary officers were supplied with a statement of their Income Tax accounts upon demobilisation.

Mr. Dugdale

Statements of their Income Tax accounts on demobilisation were supplied to those officers who asked for them.

Lieut.-Commander Braithwaite

Is the Parliamentary Secretary aware that many officers are now, three years after demobilisation, receiving Income Tax claims covering the years 1939–40 and 1940–41; and if I put down another Question can he tell me when such accounts were transferred to the Inland Revenue?

Mr. Dugdale

Yes, certainly, Sir, if the hon. and gallant Gentleman will put down a Question.
