HC Deb 14 February 1927 vol 202 c576W
Mr. MORGAN JONES

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies the number of European and other persons who are liable to payment of taxes in each of the six British East African territories during the last six years and the number of convictions of Europeans and others for non-payment of taxes in the same period?

Mr. AMERY

I am not in possession of the particulars necessary to answer the hon. Member's question, and am most reluctant to call upon the Governments concerned to undertake the compilation of these statistics unless the hon. Member can assure me that their value, when furnished, will be commensurate with the great labour involved.
