HC Deb 04 May 1893 vol 12 c73
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK (London University)

I beg to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in the proposed abolition of exemption from Stamp Duty, it is intended to include the printed stamp of banking houses which is invariably affixed to bills of exchange before presentation, for the sole purpose of indicating the channel through which they have passed?

SIR W. HARCOURT

The proposed Stamp Duties do not apply to the documents to which the right hon. Gentleman's question refers.
