asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why a resident in East Grinstead, whose name he has been given, only received, on 16th February, a receipt for a cheque sent in payment of tax on 9th February; and why such cheques are not acknowledged by return of post.

This remittance was apparently sent by post on Friday, 9th February, to the Inland Revenue Office at Worthing. As the official receipt was issued on Tuesday, 13th February, there was no appreciable delay.
