§ Sir JOHN LONSDALEasked whether to England or Ireland the respective Estate Duties would be credited in the following cases, with regard to the property situated outside the country in which the deceased was domiciled: where a person died domiciled in England but possessed of property situated in Ireland; where a person died domiciled in Ireland but possessed of property situated in England; where a person died domiciled in England, but possessed of property situated in Ireland or elsewhere, but of which the registered, offices of the companies were situated in England; and where a person died domiciled in Ireland but possessed of property situated in Ireland or elsewhere, but of which the registered offices of the companies were situated in England?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEIf I may assume that the question is directed to ascertaining what would be the position in the various cases mentioned in the event of the Government of Ireland Bill becoming law, I beg to refer the hon. Member to Clause 24 of that Bill, which imposes on the Joint Exchequer Board the duty of adjusting the proceeds of taxes so as to attribute to Ireland any proceeds of taxes collected in Great Britain, but properly attributable to Ireland and to attributing to Great Britain any proceeds of taxes collected in Ireland but properly attributable to Great Britain.
