§ Sir A. HOLBROOKasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that no provision is made for retiring allowances for Income Tax collectors; and whether he will consider placing these officials on a similar footing as regards pensions on retirement as collector of local rates and poor rates?
§ Mr. McNEILLThe question of improving the organisation of the Income Tax collecting service has been for some time under consideration. The present rates of pay are inclusive, and I do not see my way to consider the formulation of a pension scheme for these officers apart from the general review and reorganisation of the service, which I hope may take place.
