Vol. 174 No. 1

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Abolition of Legacy and Succession Duties.

23.

asked the Minister for Finance if in view of the abolition since 1949 of legacy and succession duties in the United Kingdom, he will introduce legislation to abolish such duties here, and thereby encourage the influx of capital so badly needed for national development in this country.

The matter raised by the Deputy is one which would require Finance Bill legislation; and the Deputy will appreciate that I cannot indicate in advance at any stage what proposals my Budget Statement may or may not contain.

Is the Minister aware that this financial anomaly has existed for ten years? Perhaps he will bear that in mind?
