HC Deb 18 December 1956 vol 562 cc126-7W
38. Mr. J. Harvey

asked the Secretary to the Treasury why the Inland Revenue authorities send reply-paid O.H.M.S. envelopes or stickers when requesting tax payments, whereas in the case of repayments due to a taxpayer they merely send him a notification asking whether he wishes to claim any sum due, and leave him to post this back at his own expense.

Mr. H. Brooke

It is the practice of the Inland Revenue to enclose franked addressed labels with all communications requiring a reply; I can assure my hon. Friend that if there are occasional omissions they are due to oversight.
