36. Mr. ROBINSONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether there has been any loss in revenue, either in Income Tax or Death Duties, following the formation of limited companies formed to administer landowners' estates in the two years ending 30th September, 1927; and, if so, what is the estimated sum?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI regret that I have no information which would enable me to estimate any loss of revenue which might follow upon the formation of companies such as those to which the hon. Member refers.
§ Mr. DALTONIs the right hon. Gentleman seeking to obtain that information?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLIt is difficult at this time of the year to obtain all sorts of things.
§ Mr. COMPTONDid the right hon. Gentleman not mention in his last Budget statement that he was determined to deal with these companies? What has he done since then?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI shall take the opportunity of making a full statement on finance at the usual moment.
