§ 18. Mr. Eadieasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what increase there has been in the number of representations from taxpayers about administrative matters concerning Pay As You Earn; and what annual figures of such representations are recorded for previous years.
§ Mr. Harold LeverNo statistics are kept of representations from taxpayers on this point. I cannot, therefore, give the desired information.
§ Mr. EadieIs my hon. Friend aware that his reply is most disappointing? Is he further aware that my Question is prompted by the fact that my mailbag shows this year an increase in the number of complaints from my constituents about the administration of P.A.Y.E.?
§ Mr. LeverI hope it will reassure the hon. Member if I tell him—exchanging mailbags—that my more representative mailbag shows a decrease in anxiety on this point.
