P.M. No.33/1959

 

DENIAL ON TAXATION APPOINTMENT STATEMENT

BY THE PRIME MINISTER

 

The Prime Minister today commented upon a report which appeared in some newspapers last week to the effect that the Government had appointed Sir Alexander Fitzgerald as Chairman of a Committee of Inquiry into Commonwealth taxation laws.

 

Mr. Menzies said that no such appointment had been made and that the Commonwealth had not yet considered the composition of the taxation enquiry committee. The Government was looking at the terms of reference for the committee,.
