HC Deb 23 March 1989 vol 149 c701W
Mr. Baldry

To ask the Minister for the Arts if there have been any items accepted in lieu of tax or allocated since he last made an announcement on the subject to the House.

Mr. Luce

Since my announcement on 26 January at column 665, I am pleased to announce that a painting by Cezanne, "Allée à Chantilly" has been accepted in lieu of capital transfer tax. The amount of tax satisfied was £3,387,556 and was met by a call on the Reserve. A decision as to the allocation of this painting has not yet been taken.
