§ COLONEL LOCKWOOD (Essex, Epping)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in regard to the agreement between England and France with respect to death duties, it is to be understood that information hitherto confidential, and furnished confidentially, to the Inland Revenue authorities is now disclosed for the purpose of complying with Article No. 1 of the said agreement.
(Answered by Mr. Hobhouse.) The information referred to is obtained from documents which, although neither confidential nor furnished confidentially, are not open to public inspection.
