Income Tax and Inheritance Tax
Asked by: Susan Murray (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dunbartonshire) Tuesday 25th March 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of planned changes to (a) income and (b) inheritance tax on people who inherit more than £1 million. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) Inheritance tax is a wealth transfer tax charged on the estate (the property, money, and possessions) of someone who has died. In the latest available tax year (2021-22), 4.39% of all UK deaths were liable to inheritance tax.
The tax liability is on the estate and not the beneficiary of any inherited assets. As such, HMRC does not collect information on the beneficiaries of estates, as it has no reason to do so.
The Government announced several reforms to inheritance tax at Autumn Budget 2024. The Government’s analysis of these reforms is based on the number of estates expected to pay more inheritance tax. More information is available in the various policy papers published alongside the Budget: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/autumn-budget-2024. |

Dentistry: Assessments
Asked by: Susan Murray (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dunbartonshire) Tuesday 25th March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to ensure that British dentists are prioritized when allocating Licence in Dental Surgery examination places.

Cannabis: Medical Treatments
Asked by: Susan Murray (Liberal Democrat - Mid Dunbartonshire) Wednesday 26th March 2025 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of patients prescribed medicinal cannabis by (a) the NHS and (b) private clinics in the last 12 months. Answered by Karin Smyth - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) is only able to provide information on prescriptions for cannabis-based medicines that have been prescribed and submitted to the NHSBSA. Data on National Health Service prescriptions for unlicensed cannabis-based medicines is withheld in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation, due to the number of prescriptions attributed to fewer than five patients, and the enhanced risk of the release of patient identifiable information. Patient information is not routinely collected for private prescriptions. The following table shows the number of identifiable patients that were prescribed NHS prescriptions for licensed cannabis-based medicines, for instance epidyolex, nabilone, and sativex, in the community in England in the 12 months, from February 2024 to January 2025, the latest available data:
