§ MR. LEA (St. Pancras, E.)I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the amount of the death duties assessed on the property of the late Lord Midleton, including the Peper Harrow estate; and whether these have yet been paid.
§ THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. ASQUITH, Fifeshire, E.)It would not be in accordance with precedent or with propriety to give particulars of private property in regard to which the Government is in possession of information only for the single purpose of assessing duty therein.
