Oral Answers to Questions — National Finance – in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 4 Tachwedd 1947.
asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what form of letter was sent by the Income Tax authorities to Miss Margaret Skivington Logie, Green Road, Edinburgh; and whether he is aware that the recipient was four months old at the time of receipt of the letter.
This was a routine letter of inquiry, issued to the name and address shown in an employer's return of his employees.
Can the Chancellor say whether the lady mentioned in this Question is any relation to the hon. Member for Bedford (Mr. Skeffington-Lodge)?
The employers who furnished this list were the Greyhound Racing Association, Limited, who allege they were employing, among other persons, a Miss Skivington. We are now inquiring whether Mrs. Skivington, who gave the information to the Press on which I think the hon. Member based his Question, is in fact an employee and liable to pay Income Tax.
I have no connection with this lady, and I do not wish to be associated with any form of greyhound racing.
As the lady is connected with greyhound racing, should not the name be "Spivington"?
