§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is aware of the growing practice of persons establishing themselves as alleged accountants and tax consultants, without any qualifications or degrees, and that this causes difficulties for the Inland Revenue Department; and whether he will consider taking steps to initiate a system of registration on a similar basis to that adopted for opticians, doctors and dentists for persons acceptable to and qualified for this liaison with the Department of Inland Revenue.
§ Mr. HigginsI am not aware of any special increase in the number of unqualified tax advisers. If the hon. Member has any particular cases in mind perhaps he will send me particulars of them.
