HC Deb 16 March 1939 vol 345 c631W
Mr. Day

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will consider introducing legislation to amend Section 38 of the Finance Act, 1924, so as to give relief from death duties to any person in the various services of His Majesty, who, in carrying out orders from a superior, may die as a result of any dangerous peace time training?

Sir J. Simon

The hon. Member will not expect me to anticipate my Budget statement but I may say that as at present advised I do not think that any amendment is called for of the provisions of the Section to which the hon. Member refers.
