HC Deb 14 July 1975 vol 895 cc343-4W
Mr. Spearing

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what proportion of officers of the Inland Revenue concerned with company taxation retire before pensionable age; and what information he has concerning the position which such officers take up outside the public service.

Mr. Denzil Davies

About 0.75 per cent. of all inspectors in 1974; not all inspectors, however, deal with company taxation, but separate figures are not available. Half of these left while under training or for domestic reasons. Of the remainder for whom information is available, about 0.13 per cent. of the total went to jobs in industry or accountancy.
