§ Sir W. Bromley-Davenportasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the fact that a breakdown in morale amongst tax inspectors may occur this winter and that it is estimated that more than one million hours of overtime by tax inspectors will have to be put in before the new tax year in April, what steps he is taking to reduce the burden of and simplify the tax system of the country.
