HC Deb 15 October 1940 vol 365 c607W
Mr. Silkin

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will make provision for exemption from Estate Duty of the estates of civilians killed as a result of enemy action in the same way as at present applies to the case of men serving with His Majesty's Forces?

Sir K. Wood

I regret that I cannot see my way to introduce legislation on the lines proposed.
