Mr. ELLIS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he can give the sums which accrued to the Revenue during the financial year 1908-9 from the changes made in the Death Duties by the Finance Act of 1907, either the particular sums at varying rates of duties on the respective totals of estate or the aggregate sum derived?

Mr. LLOYD-GEORGE

The additional revenue in the year 1908-9 due to the changes made in the scale of rates of Estate Duty by the Finance Act of 1907 amounted to £832,000.
