2, if he will list for each county in England, Scotland or Wales the number of landowners and estates that have benefited under the tax procedures by which tax liability is reduced on condition that there is an undertaking to manage and protect the land from development and allow reasonable public access.
[holding answer 26 June 1992]: There have been 117 designations of land for conditional exemption from inheritance tax or capital transfer tax in England and Wales. In addition, there have been 107 designations of historic buildings in England and Wales, some of which will have extended to surrounding land. Some designations of historic buildings have been for the purposes of the tax exemptions for maintenance funds rather than for exemption of the buildings themselves.A detailed breakdown by county is not readily available. In addition, the normal rules of taxpayer confidentiality would prevent the disclosure of figures for counties with a very small number of designations.Details of the number of designations for land and buildings in Scotland were given in my reply to the hon. Member on 22 June at column
