HC Deb 20 February 1967 vol 741 cc219-20W
Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will direct the Board of Inland Revenue to publish its examination of the effect and working of close companies legislation in the Finance Act 1965.

Mr. Callaghan

It is an essential part of the machinery of government that advice is constantly asked for by Ministers and tendered to them by their Departments. Such advice is confidential.
