HC Deb 10 May 1966 vol 728 c39W
39. Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware of the increasing number of persons in the building and roadmaking industries who claim the status of sub-contractors and are accordingly paid without deduction of tax at source; and if he will make inquiries to see if there are abuses in this system leading to a loss of tax to the revenue.

Mr. MacDermot

Arrangements were introduced last year to secure regular returns of payments made to sub-contractors in these industries.
