HC Deb 02 February 1948 vol 446 c243W
120. Mr. Medlicott

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware of the continued delay in the assessment of duty on documents submitted to the Adjudication Section of the office of the Controller of Stamps; how far this delay is due to shortage of staff in the Section; and what measures are being taken to bring the staff up to the requisite numbers.

Mr. Glenvil Hall

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my right hon. and learned Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer gave on 27th January last on this subject to the hon. Member for Carnarvon Boroughs.
