HC Deb 26 August 1909 vol 9 c2304
Mr. LONSDALE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state in how many cases during the past three financial years have tenants' interests in Ireland been valued for the purposes of the Death Duties; at what sum was the value assessed; and what was the gross Poor Law valuation of the holdings so assessed?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

I cannot give the figures now, but I will let the hon. Member know.

Mr. LONSDALE

Will the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to have the information I ask for ready before the discussion on the Death Duties takes place?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Yes, I will do my very best, because I quite understand how important it is that this information should be given before the discussion on the Death Duties takes place.
