HC Deb 19 October 1908 vol 194 cc727-8
MR. WHITBREAD (Huntingdonshire, Huntingdon)

To ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, since the issue of the Parliamentary Paper, Inland Revenue (Death Duties) Public-Houses, dated 14th May, 1890, and previous to the passing of The Finance Act, 1894, any instructions, and, if so, what instructions, were issued altering the practice of the Inland Revenue Department, as set out in the Paper of 14th May, 1891.

(Answered by Mr. Lloyd-George.) No record can be traced of any instructions being given previous to 1894, altering the practice in force on the 14th May, 1890, in the Inland Revenue Department, in dealing, for Death Duty purposes, with the various interests connected with the sale of intoxicating liquors.
