§ Mr. NottYes. The Inland Revenue has a network of 59 local inquiry offices, 29 of which are in Scotland. The remaining 30 are in the London and Home Counties region covering the area from which PAYE has been dispersed to the provinces. In the 12 months ended 31st August 1973 the local inquiry offices have dealt with more than 1,100,000 inquiries either made in person or by telephone. Over 100,000 of these were dealt with by inquiry offices in the Glasgow area.
