§ 23. Mr. Langford-Holtasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in view of the difficulty being experienced in filling vacancies for inspector of taxes without lowering standards, if he will review the salary scales of these inspectors with a view to increasing them.
§ Mr. PowellThe salaries of inspectors of taxes have recently been raised in the light of the improvement in salary scales for comparable grades recommended by the Royal Commission on the Civil Service.
§ Mr. Langford-HoltIs my hon. Friend quite satisfied that the salaries offered are sufficiently high to attract the best type of person into this very important job?
§ Mr. PowellThe increases were made only last July and, therefore, it is really too early to tell whether they are having the desired effect.
