Earl of DALKEITHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress has been made as regards the simplification and codification of the Income Tax Acts by the committee appointed in November, 1927, by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer for that purpose; whether a codifying Bill has been drafted; and, if so, when it will be introduced?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENThe committee has made substantial progress with its 1471W work. Some considerable time must still elapse before the drafting of the proposed Bill is completed.
