HC Deb 06 July 1978 vol 953 c297W
53. Mr. John H. Osborn

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps he has taken to publicise the rights of citizens to claim for payment of post-war tax credits; and whether he is satisfied that those who have such rights are claiming them.

Mr. Joel Barnett

Extensive publicity by means of press advertising, posters and BBC announcements was undertaken in 1972 and 1973 when the general release of post-war credits was authorised. A new round of publicity has just been launched to bring to the notice of the public the final date-31st December 1978—for the acceptance of claims where certificates cannot be produced.

I am satisfied that all reasonable steps are being taken to bring their entitlement to the notice of those entitled to claim.
