HC Deb 11 July 1974 vol 876 c538W
Mr. Trotter

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Inland Revenue will seek to establish the extent to which the official allowances of the mayors and chairmen of the new local authorities are not spent on official entertaining and expenses so that they may be assessed to tax on any surplus.

Dr. Gilbert

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
