HC Deb 31 July 1922 vol 157 c1047W
Major HENNESSY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that there is much dissatisfaction with the treatment meted out by the inspector of taxes in the Winchester district; and, seeing that proper and smooth collection of taxes can only be made when there is accord between the public and the representatives of the Crown, will he see that proper instructions be given to inspectors of taxes as to their treatment of the public?

Sir A. HOLBROOK

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that there is much dissatisfaction with the treatment meted out to taxpayers by the inspector of taxes in the Winchester district; whether, seeing that proper and smooth collection of taxes can only be made when there is accord between the public and the representative of the Crown, he will see that instructions be given to inspectors of taxes as to their treatment of the public?

Mr. YOUNG

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer is not aware of any grounds for the suggestion contained in my hon. and gallant Friends' questions. If, however, they will furnish him with particulars of the case or cases on which it is based, he will cause inquiry to be made.
