Captain FABERasked the Chancellor whether his attention has been called to the case of John Shaw, accused of defrauding the Income Tax Commissioners; and whether it is the practice of the Inland Revenue Department to retain all the money that it gets, whether legally due from the taxpayers or not?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI am not aware that my right hon. Friend's attention has been drawn to the case referred to in the first part of the question; but, if the hon. and gallant Member will furnish me with further particulars, I will cause inquiry to be made. The reply to the second part of the question is in the negative.
