HC Deb 08 November 1971 vol 825 c84W
Mr. Ramsden

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is his estimate of the loss to the revenue which would result from increasing the estate duty exemption limit to £25,000, £30,000 and £35,000 respectively.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

If the higher rates of duty were left as they are and not shifted up, the estimates are £75 million, £95 million and £115 million.
