Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware that large sums of money are sent to persons on claims for return of Income Tax by money order accompanied by sufficient information to enable them to be fraudulently cashed: and whether he is prepared to pay such money by cheque or money order at the option of the recipient?
§ Sir R. HORNEThe question of the most appropriate means of preventing frauds in connection with repayments of Income Tax is at present under consideration.
