HC Deb 18 July 1961 vol 644 cc113-4W
52. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs whether, in view of the increased and increasing financial difficulties of local authorities, he will now set up an official body to inquire into the question, with particular reference to the feasibility of a local income tax.

Mr. Brooke

I have nothing to add to the answer given to the hon. Member by my hon. Friend the Joint Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Scottish Office in reply to a similar Question on 20th June.
