HC Deb 23 November 1914 vol 68 c810W
Mr. DUNCAN MILLAR

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will issue in the form of a White Paper the scales of allowances and pensions for dependants of soldiers and for disabled soldiers provided, respectively, by the Governments of the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, New Zealand, and other Colonies, which are sending contingents for service at the front?

Mr. HARCOURT

Yes, Sir, as soon as the information is complete.

Mr. BUTCHER

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the exceptional circumstances of the present War and of the number of persons serving in the Navy and Army who have lost their lives in action, he will, in the case of such persons, either grant a complete remission of Estate Duties and Legacy and Succession Duties or grant a partial remission beyond that already announced?

Mr. LLOYD GEORGE

The question of the relief to be given in the cases referred to by the hon. and learned Member was only recently considered by this House.
