§ Mr. Roger Kingasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many collectors are employed by the Inland Revenue to call regularly on employers for pay-as-you-earn tax contributions.
§ Mr. Moore[pursuant to his reply, 27 October 1983, c. 188]: Such calls are one element of the duties of staff in Inland Revenue local collection offices. It is however not possible to give my hon. Friend a specific figure for the number carrying out regular PAYE calls, because the extent of these calls varies according to local needs, and the officers making the calls also deal with other tax liabilities besides PAYE.
