Social Democratic & Labour Party — Foyle

Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 October 2024

Debate

Infected Blood Compensation Scheme

Contribution

I am very grateful to the Minister for giving way. This has been a long, long journey for the people who have been affected by this scandal—and that is exactly what it has been. Can he clarify an issue that has been raised about inheritance tax? Given that many payments will be paid to the very elderly, many second generation recipients are worried about inheritance tax. Will they be exempt from inheritance tax? Is that possible?
