HC Deb 21 February 1919 vol 112 cc1298-9W
Commander BELLAIRS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in order to enable the figures to be compared, he will state for each year from 1906–7 the capital upon which Estate Duties have been paid?

Mr. BALDWIN

The figures for the years 1906–7 to 1914–15 are given on page 11 of the Report of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue for the year ended 31st March, 1915 (Cd. 8116). The compilation of similar figures for later years is part of the statistical work which it has been necessary to suspend on account of shortage of staff.
