HC Deb 10 February 1977 vol 925 c810W
Mr. Cormack

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will extend the three-year rule for the acceptance of probate valuations in respect of the contents of Mentmore Towers to allow sufficient time for steps to be taken to ensure the preservation of the house and contents for the nation.

Mr. Joel Barnett

I will let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
