HC Deb 22 July 1981 vol 9 cc175-6W
Mr. Ancram

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will specify any objects which have been accepted in satisfaction of estate duty or capital transfer tax on Scottish estates since 1 April; and how much tax was satisfied in each case.

Mr. Younger

The following objects have been accepted in satisfaction of estate duty and capital transfer tax: two water-colours by J. M. W. Turner, entitled respectively "Salisbury" and "Flint Castle". The amount of tax is £50,662. I am seeking advice on the allocation of these paintings.
