HC Deb 14 May 1936 vol 312 c553
57. Mr. DAY

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider introducing legislation to amend Section 38 of the Finance Act, 1924, so as to give relief from death duties to any person in the various services of His Majesty who, in carrying out orders from a superior, may die as a result of any dangerous peace-time training?

THE PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Captain Margesson)

I have been asked to reply. I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 23rd April to the hon. and gallant Member for Altrincham (Sir E. Grigg).

Mr. DAY

Does that answer also apply to short-term officers in the Royal Air Force?

Captain MARGESSON

I think that that would need a separate question.
