§ 33. Mr. Costainasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many recruits were taken into the Tax Inspectorate in 1966; how many inspectors left the Board of Inland Revenue in 1966; and whether he is satisfied that the Tax Inspectorate is now adequate to cope with the volume of work in the Chief Inspector's Branch of the Inland Revenue.
§ Mr. MacDermotThree hundred and forty-nine Inspectors were appointed, 65 by direct entry and 284 by promotion. Wastage, including retirement, was 104. The number now in post is adequate to deal with the current work.
