§ Mr. Tilleyasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what consultations his officials had with the retired deputy head of the Inland Revenue's inquiry branch with regard to his publication "Tax Evasion—the Law and the Practice"; whether he authorised the inclusion of any classified material; and if he is satisfied that no disclosure of official information has been included in the book.
