§ Mr. MAURICE HEALYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is 603 aware that Estate Duty is at present being claimed in respect of the tenant-right interest of persons who have died in Ireland since 30th April last; and whether he will give directions that such a claim is not to be made?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEInstructions have already been issued to limit the value for Estate Duty of tenant-right in the manner indicated in my right hon. Friend's statement to the Committee on the 13th instant.
§ Mr. M. HEALYWould the right hon. Gentleman say when the instructions were given? Within the past few days I have seen the Schedule on which the demand was made.
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEI am afraid I cannot give an answer to that without notice.
