HC Deb 16 July 1968 vol 768 c198W
71. Sir T. Beamish

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what decision he has reached about land at Bedham Manor known as the Mens and the Cut and Strood Green that has been offered to the Inland Revenue in lieu of state duty; if he is now satisfied that the Sussex Naturalists Trust can administer this property within the terms of the Dedication Covenant; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Taverne

After careful consideration, I have decided not to accept the offer of this land in lieu of estate duty.
