§ 78. Mr. Errollasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what will be the approximate staff required by the Malayan and Singapore Governments to enforce the provisions of the Income Tax enactment which has been imposed against the advice of the Advisory Councils; and whether he is satisfied that it will be possible to enforce the provisions of those Acts in so far as the non-British population of Malaya and Singapore is concerned.
Mr. Creech JonesThe estimated requirements at the outset are: two Assistant Commissioners of Income Tax, 26 Senior Assessment and Assessment Officers, 46 Senior Examiners and Examiners. I trust that all sections of the community will co-operate loyally in working the new tax which is so vital for the financial stability of the two territories.
