HC Deb 17 October 1940 vol 365 cc844-5W
Mr. McEntee

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the investigation in Case No. T. 1193/6/38, Inland Revenue, involving charges of fraud against the Crown and which was commenced in June, 1938, is yet completed; whether a person against whom charges are made still holds a position as financial adviser to one of the control boards; what is the salary attached to the post; what part of it has been drawn by the person concerned; and what steps he proposes to take in the matter?

Sir K. Wood

The investigation in the case to which the hon. Member refers is not yet complete but is being pressed to a conclusion as quickly as possible. The answer to the second part of the Question is in the affirmative. The answer to the third part is that the salary attaching to the post in question is £1,200 a year, none of which is being drawn.
