HC Deb 16 March 1931 vol 249 c1686W
Sir C. CAYZER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he intends to issue an Order in Council reciprocating the recent action of the Saskatchewan Legislature with regard to Succession Duties by applying Section 20 of the Finance Act, 1894, to Saskatchewan; and what has been the cause of the delay in this matter?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

Steps are being taken with a view to the issue at an early date of an Order in Council applying Section 20 of the Finance Act, 1894, to the Province of Saskatchewan. Some delay has occurred owing to the necessity of the issue of a further Order in Council in Saskatchewan before any action could be taken in this country.
