(b) to deliver with the return such accounts and statements, relating to information contained in the return, as may be required in pursuance of the notice; and a notice may be given to any one trustee or separate notices may be given to each trustee or to such trustees as the inspector thinks fit.

(2) Every return under this section shall include a declaration by the person making the return to the effect that the return is to the best of his knowledge correct and complete.

Mr. Deputy Speaker (Mr. Harold Walker)

With this, it will be convenient to consider amendment No. 26.

Mr. Nicholas Brown

Both amendments are relatively minor. They relate to trustees' powers concerning special trust tax returns. Both are unexceptionable. The Opposition accept them.

Amendment agreed to.
