§ Mr. PETOasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he is aware that pensioners of the Metropolitan Police have to pay postage on the return of forms for Income Tax returns, which they are required annually to fill up, stating that they have no income liable to tax; and whether he will see that in future franked envelopes are sent for the return of these forms, if he thinks that any useful purpose is served by obtaining an annual repetition of the same information?
§ Mr. McKENNAIt is necessary that these returns should be made by the pensioners annually, but arrangements are being made by which franked envelopes will be issued to the pensioners.
