§ 24. Mr. Evelyn Kingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what representations he has received from the Inland Revenue staff associations regarding the complexity of his taxation proposals; and what reply he has given.
§ Mr. Harold LeverI have received no such representations.
§ Mr. KingDoes not that show how docile the staff must be? Is it not a fact that the incomprehensiblity of the proposals put forward by the Chancellor are causing difficulty even among the experts at the point of collection?
§ Mr. LeverAll tax systems are in one degree or another complex, and I have received no such representations of the kind implied by the question.
