HC Deb 15 July 1992 vol 211 c694W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the cost of the carving of the taxpayers charter in Somerset House.

Mr. Dorrell

The full cost of the taxpayers charter in Somerset House, including the panel, lettering and erection, was £4,927. Copies are displayed in offices throughout the Department.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the exceptions and proposed exceptions to the taxpayers charter to the right of a taxpayer to take a grievance to an independent tribunal.

Mr. Dorrell

The circumstances under which a taxpayer has the right to take a grievance to an independent tribunal are laid down in statute. The taxpayers charter commits the revenue departments to publicising these rights, but does not affect them.
