Estate Duty

HC Deb 28 November 1972 vol 847 c61W

15. Mr. Idris Owen

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he expects to announce the decision on the reform of estate duty.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

We are still receiving representations on the Green Paper published last March, and there are more to come. It is too soon to say when it will be possible to take decisions.

49. Mr. Winterton

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will seek powers to exempt from all death duty charges the family home in the case of unmarried daughters.

Mr. Patrick Jenkin

I have noted my hon. Friend's suggestion.
