HC Deb 16 June 1988 vol 135 c267W
Mr. McCusker

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Upper Bann of 7 June, from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he will indicate who employs those civil servants in Northern Ireland who work for the Inland Revenue and Her Majesty's Customs and Excise.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Most of the civil servants who work for the Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise in Northern Ireland are employed by the Board of Inland Revenue and the Board of Customs and Excise. There are, however, a few officials who are members of the Northern Ireland Civil Service and who are on secondment to the Inland Revenue.
