Mr. SIMONasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he is prepared to consider encouraging gifts of land to the nation by remitting Death Duties on such gifts?
§ Sir M. CONWAYasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will introduce legislation to exempt from Death and Estate Duties monuments of historic interest, or lands remarkable for natural beauty, which may be bequeathed for national purposes to any public authority or the National Trust?
§ Mr. P. SNOWDENI will answer these two questions together. This is a suggestion with which I have a good deal of sympathy, and I will bear it in mind for consideration at the proper time.
