HC Deb 17 July 1879 vol 248 c613
MR. DODDS

asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, What steps he proposes to take in order to give effect to the Resolution of the House upon the Motion of the honourable Member for East Sussex on the subject of Probate, Administration, and Legacy Duties?

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER

, in reply, said, that any steps which might be proposed to give effect to the Resolution of the House with regard to these duties would involve legislation of a complicated and difficult character, such as it would not be convenient to undertake at a late period of the Session. It would rather be for consideration in another Session, if anything ought to be done.
