asked whether, as in the case of other like forms required for the purposes of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, he will direct that copies of the printed form of particulars of assessment for Undeveloped Land Duty, known as Form 210, Land, shall be supplied by the Commissioners of Inland Revenue to bonâ fide applicants and so save labour and expense in copying to those who have to fill in a large number of such forms?

It has not been the practice to supply copies of the forms required for the purposes of Part I of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, and I see no reason for making an exception in the case of Form 210, which is one retained by the taxpayer to whom it is issued.

May I ask whether the right hon. Gentleman is aware that great inconvenience is caused to nursery gardeners and people of that description who have not had that form served on them?

If the hon. Gentleman will put to me any cases where they have suffered any inconvenience of this kind I will be very happy to look into the matter.

If these forms cannot be provided free of cost to those who have to fill up a large number of them, as some solicitors have to do, will the right hon. Gentleman be prepared to provide them for some nominal consideration?
