§ Mr. CECIL HARMSWORTHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will state what was the yield from the Estate Duty for the relief of local taxation under the provisions of section 19 of The Finance Act, 1894, in the last year for which the figures are available; and what does he estimate will be the increased sum thus available in the coming year for the relief of local taxation under the new rates of Estate Duty proposed in the Finance Bill?
§ Mr. LLOYD-GEORGEThe last year for which the figures are available is the year ending 31st March, 1908, in which year the yield was £4,480,869. It is not estimated that there will be any increased sum available in the coming year under the new rates of Estate Duty proposed in the Finance Bill.
