asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will specify in detail the proposed simplification of taxes as announced in September 1978 by the Financial Secretary to the Treasury; and what methods will be used to explain these simplifications to the taxpayer.

I am sending the hon. Lady a copy of the press notice which contains the relevant extracts from ployed on the services mentioned; the Crown is exempted, however, from certain provisions relating to offences and enforcement.
