HC Deb 31 January 2002 vol 379 c511W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much was paid to the Treasury in inheritance tax in actual terms in the latest year for which figures are available; and if he will make a statement on inheritance tax and plans he has for reform. [30755]

Dawn Primarolo

The yield from inheritance tax in the year 2000–01 was £2.2 billion. As to the future of the tax, I cannot anticipate my right hon. Friend's Budget statement.
