HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 cc236-7W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he is now taking to meet representations which have been made to him for the simplification of the tax system.

Mr. Roy Jenkins

The Board of Inland Revenue and a group of people professionally concerned from a taxpayer's point of view are already holding informal consultations about these problems. It is likely that the consultations will take some time as the problems are difficult and complex.
