HC Deb 05 July 1917 vol 95 c1301W
Sir G. TOUCHE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will consider the question of extending the benefits of the Death Duties (Killed in War) Act, 1914, and the provisions of the Finance Act, 1894, relating to the free estate of a sailor or soldier, to the estates of civilians killed in air raids?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I have carefully considered this suggestion, but regret that I am unable to adopt it.
