§ Captain Kerbyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the fact that it takes a month to six weeks to get a reply to correspondence with the Inland Revenue, even on simple matters, he will give instructions for more prompt attention to be given to day-to-day correspondence by this Department.
§ Mr. BarberThe Inland Revenue is working under great pressure but it does its best to answer taxpayers' letters as quickly as possible.
§ Captain Kerbyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will issue instructions to the staff of Inland Revenue to apologise, when as the result of errors on their part they make amendments to their figures or statements.
§ Mr. BarberWhere the staff of the Inland Revenue are wrong, I would expect them to apologise for any errors.
