' He inquired whether the Minister in Charge of Land and Income Tax would introduce legislation making it mandatory to present an annual return to Parliament showing the individual income of each taxpayer and its source, as distinct from company taxation.

This afternoon the House will pass condolence motions for deceased legislators, outstanding in the list being a former Prime Minister, Mr G. AV. Forbes, and the late Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mr D. G. Sullivan, whose successor, Mr J. Mathison (L., Avon) will move the formal motion in reply to His Excellency’s address
