§ Mr. MAURICE HEALYasked the Secretary to the Treasury whether, in view of the increase in the number of cases in which it is necessary to have deeds adjudicated on for Stamp Duty, arising out of the provisions of the Finance (1909–10) Act, 1910, making voluntary conveyances liable to ad valorem duty, he will consider the advisability of having deeds accepted for adjudication at all Government stamp offices?
§ Mr. HOBHOUSEFor administrative reasons I am unable to accept the hon. Member's proposal. I may, however, state that additional facilities for the presentation of documents for adjudication in Ireland will shortly be granted, in conformity with the arrangements in force in Great Britain. There will be no difficulty in giving the administrative reasons referred to if need be.
