§ Viscount SANDONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it is the custom for Income Tax officials to be punished in cases where they are responsible for pressing claims on Income Tax payers which are found to be unjust and are later abandoned, and in cases where representation is made as to breach of elementary courtesy in official communications?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIf my Noble Friend has any specific case in mind, I will gladly inquire into it. I can assure him that the disciplinary resources of the Board of Inland Revenue are adequate to deal with any breach of duty by their officers, and are employed on all proper occasions.
