HC Deb 07 February 1972 vol 830 cc284-5W
Mr. John Page

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what further steps he proposes to take to ensure that those who are working on a commission-only basis for encyclopædia and other companies, often without their National Insurance card being stamped by those companies, are assessed for income tax and surtax.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

Inspectors of Taxes already have power to ask for returns of such commissions from the paying company. I am not aware that any further steps are required.
