HL Deb 14 March 1845 vol 78 cc886-7
The Duke of Buccleuch

moved the third reading of the Stamp Duties Assimilation Bill.

Lord Monteagle

said, that the Land Commissioners for Ireland had recommended that the stamp duties on agreements between landlords and tenants under 50l. a year should be abolished. He hoped that by agreeing to this Bill it would not be considered that their Lordships were precluded from bringing this question forward on any future occasion.

The Duke of Wellington

said, that he did not consider that by agreeing to this Bill, either the Government or the noble Lord would be precluded from taking that Report into consideration, or from bringing this question forward, if they should think proper, even in the present Session.

Bill read 3a and passed.

House adjourned.
