§ Mr. Harold LeverMy hon. Friend will find particulars of back duty settlements for the ten years to 31st March, 1967 in Table 9 on page 39 of the 110th Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue (Cmnd. 3508). The number of such settlements in the year ended 31st March, 1968 was 10,487. I cannot forecast the number for the current year.
