HC Deb 14 December 1948 vol 459 c111W
64. Captain Crowder

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what progress has been made by the Special Commissioners in issuing assessments for the Special Contribution due for payment on 1st January, 1949; and what proportion of assessments have not yet been agreed.

Sir S. Cripps

I would refer the hon. and gallant Member to my reply to the Question asked by the hon. Member for Galloway (Mr. McKie). Appeals have been received against about 300 of the 26,000 assessments, but in many cases the time for appealing has not yet expired.
