property as returned for duty, that the six years'
qualifying clause is inserted.
It is undoubtedly open to any party accountable
for duty to apply to have the value of the property
officially determined by the Valuation Commis
sioners. They do not appear to be under any statutory
obligation to comply with such a request, and in
fact they would probably be physically unable to
cope with the work if the value of all property
passing on death had to be officially determined for
the purpose of death duties.
The matter has now been raised again by the
Irish banks, following representations which have
been made by the English Law Society to the British
Inland Revenue authorities. The Council have
appointed a sub-committee to discuss the matter
with the representatives of the banks, and to take
the matter up again jointly with the banks' rep
resentatives in discussions with the Revenue Com
missioners.
