§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what action will be taken to ensure that no tax due from illegal immigrants who have been granted amnesty will be overlooked.
§ Mr. Robert Sheldon, pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 15th December 1977; Vol. 941, c. 548], gave the following information:
This amnesty does not apply to tax. The tax affairs of illegal immigrants are subject to the same procedures as are applied to other immigrants.
