HC Deb 08 December 1942 vol 385 cc1437-8W
Sir J. Mellor

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer why corrective affidavits for Estate Duty on Form Dr and accounts for legacy, or succession, duty on Form 3–1 are required in duplicate?

Sir K. Wood

As regards both the corrective affidavits and the accounts to which my hon. Friend refers, the original is retained by the Estate Duty Office and the duplicate, duly stamped and receipted, is returned to the accountable parties as evidence of the discharge of their liability.
