§ 25. Mr. HAYESasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has been successful, and, if so, to what extent, in obtaining payment of Death Duties in the case of a will which was proved in the Channel Islands of a person previously resident in Great Britain?
§ The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Ronald McNeill)Steps to substantiate claims to Death Duties in the case which the hon. Member has in mind are in process of being taken.
§ Mr. HAYESIs the Treasury legally represented, and are they quite satisfied that the widow is not being unduly detained in Jersey, seeing that she has been certified as mentally fit by eminent specialists in this country?
§ Mr. McNEILLThat is quite a different question from the one on the Paper. The hon. Member must give me notice of it.
