HC Deb 02 May 1944 vol 399 c1198
53. Sir Robert Tasker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is aware that at present estate duties are charged twice on the same estate through various departments where the ownership has not changed; and if he will take steps to alter this.

Sir J. Anderson

I understand that the matter to which my hon. Friend refers is one regarding which he has written to me. Inquiries are being made and I hope to communicate with him at an early date.

Sir R. Tasker

Is my right hon. Friend aware that no acknowledgment was received from the Treasury?

Sir J. Anderson

I am very sorry if that is the case. The letter ought certainly to have been acknowledged.
