HC Deb 21 July 1978 vol 954 c426W
Mr. Lawson

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many forms were sent to the public by (a) the Inland Revenue and (b) Her Majesty's Customs and Excise service; and how many pages in total were contained in these forms, both in February 1974 and at the latest available date.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

The Revenue departments issue forms to the public where it is necessary for the proper administration of the taxes or when individuals so request. No detailed records are however kept of the total numbers of forms issued.
