HC Deb 30 November 1966 vol 737 c120W
Dr. Bennett

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if he will make a further statement about Colonel Harris's tax forms.

Mr. Oram

Colonel Harris applied on the 4th and again on the 18th November for certificates of Income Tax deducted from his pension for the years 1963–64 and 1964–65. The second letter was received on the 22nd November but the forms had already been sent to him the previous day.

Certificates in respect of the same two years had in fact been sent to him in August, 1965, in response to a similar request in July, 1965.

There was no question in this correspondence of any remittance to Colonel Harris.
