§ MR. J. PARKER SMITH (Lanark, Partick)I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he has received memorials from the Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow, the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce, the Glasgow Stock Exchange, and the Glasgow Society of Underwriters, calling his attention to the inadequate provision at present existing for the stamping of documents at the Inland Revenue Office in Glasgow; whether he is aware that it is impossible to get a document impressed in Glasgow with an embossed stamp of a larger denomination than sixpence, and that great inconvenience and expense are in consequence incurred in sending documents through to Edinburgh to be stamped; and what steps he will take to remedy the evils complained of?
§ THE SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. R. W. HANBURY,) PrestonThe memorials mentioned by the hon. Member have been received, and have been referred to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. When their Report is received, I will give the matter my careful consideration.
