HC Deb 19 January 1971 vol 809 c246W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the cases sent to him by the hon. Member for West Ham, North, of persons publicly admitting not having paid any income tax or any tax whatsoever for several years, although having incomes of £1,000 per annum, he will cause an investigation to be made to ascertain how these persons wore allowed to evade the tax laws for so long; and what action he proposes to take to ensure that the taxes due are properly demanded.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

As I have informed the hon. Member I cannot comment upon the income tax affairs of particular individuals.
