Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

Application for payment of Estate Duty or Succession Duty in land or buildings under Section 56 of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, has been made in forty-one cases. In thirty-three cases the property offered was not suited to the requirements of any public Department or authority and the remaining eight cases are still under consideration.
