HC Deb 30 September 1941 vol 374 cc496-7W
Mr. Leonard

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the strong opposition of the staff of His Majesty's Inspector of Taxes, Glasgow 17 District, 109, Waterloo Street, Glasgow, C2, to the forthcoming removal of the office to Hillhead because of the additional travelling which will be incurred, the absence of restaurant or canteen facilities in the neighbourhood, and the fact that the office will be substantially removed from the taxpayers it serves, he will authorise the suspension of the forthcoming removal until alternative more suitable premises, which are known to exist, have been investigated?

Captain Crookshank

I understand that, since the proposal to which the hon. Member refers was framed, it has become necessary to provide for an increased number of staff in the Tax District in question, but as the accommodation selected has now been found to be inadequate other arrangements are being made.
