§ Mr. Spellerasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any further objects have been accepted in satisfaction of estate duty or capital transfer tax.
§ Mr. Peter ReesYes. A collection of the late Henry W. Williamson's manuscripts and other literary papers has been accepted in lieu of capital transfer tax.
The cost borne by the national land fund, after allowing for relief from capital gains tax and capital transfer tax was £13,800.
An announcement about the allocation of these papers will be made in due course by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Minister with special responsibility for the arts, after taking advice from the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts.
