§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what amounts were written off by the Inland Revenue in connection with unpaid Income Tax, Surtax, Corporation Tax, and Capital Gains Tax in the year ended 5th April, 1968, showing separately figures for England, Wales and Scotland by references to the taxpayer's address as shown in their tax return forms.
§ Mr. Harold LeverThe latest figures available are those for income tax, Corporation tax and capital gains tax for the year of account to September, 1967, 255W and surtax for the year to June, 1968.
