§ Miss Quennellasked the Chancellor ot the Exchequer if he will investigate how the Financial Secretary's letter to her of 17th July 1973, arising from correspondence over Mr. K. C. Ward's value added tax repayment claim from April 237W onwards, ignored the Financial Secretary's letter of 8th June, wherein he acknowledged that Mr. Ward had completed and submitted his April return on 16th May.
§ Mr. HigginsI am writing to my hon. Friend setting out the full sequence of events. As stated in my letter of 17th July, authority to credit Mr. Ward's bank account with the amounts claimed for April and May was given on 6th July. If my hon. Friend's constituent has any outstanding problems concerned with value added tax I should be happy to discuss them with my hon. Friend.
