§ Mr. CROOKSasked what was the amount received under the Estate Duties due to the increased values of all estates passed for probate since 1910?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEThere are no statistics available of the kind asked for as far as personal property is concerned, but with regard to real property I may say that, in the five financial years ended the 31st March last, the values of real property have been increased by £18,883,700 over the values returned by the accounting parties. The additional Death Duties which have been, or will be, received by reason of such increase amount to £1,682,000.
