HC Deb 07 July 1943 vol 390 c2110W
Sir L. Lyle

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why the commissioner of Income Tax in Jamaica sits as a member of the Assessment Committee, whose function is to hear objections to rulings by the commissioner; and whether, as it is not in accord with British justice for the same individual to be both judge and advocate, he will recommend that the Assessment Committee be reconstituted?

Colonel Stanley

I am inquiring of the Governor of Jamaica about my hon. Friend's Question and I will communicate with him when I have the Governor's reply.
