HC Deb 01 July 1914 vol 64 cc369-70W
Mr. ARTHUR STRAUSS

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount of capital on which Estate Duty has been paid every year separately from 1885 to now; and the amounts on which such duty was due if it were paid immediately after death?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The Estate Duty was not imposed until 1894. For the year 1894–5 and onwards the hon. Member will find the information asked for in the first part of the question in the thirty-eighth and following Reports of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. The second part of the question is not understood.
