HC Deb 07 July 1914 vol 64 c890W
Mr. RUPERT GUINNESS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the hardship of retaining Settlement Estate Duty after the discontinuance of the benefits conferred by former Finance Acts, he can see his way to making 1st January, 1914, or some earlier date, the date from and after which Settlement Estate Duty will cease to be demanded, and order a refund where it has already been paid; and whether, if such Settlement Estate Duty is retained, compound interest will be allowed when the next death takes place?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

I am unable to add anything to my previous statements on this subject.
