HC Deb 16 May 1911 vol 25 c1840
Mr. HORNER

asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that all voluntary conveyances in Ireland have to be presented personally or by agent at the office of the solicitor of the Inland Revenue, Dublin, for adjudication before being stamped; and whether, in order to save expense, he will have some arrangement made by which these documents may be sent direct by post to the solicitor of the Inland Revenue, Dublin, and that when the documents are adjudicated on, the decisions shall be communicated by letter to the parties who sent the documents, and that these parties may be at liberty to remit the amount of the duty direct by letter to Dublin?

The FINANCIAL SECRETARY to the TREASURY (Mr. Hobhouse)

I beg to refer to the concluding sentence in the reply given to the hon. Member for North East Cork on 13th February last. I am informed that the necessary arrangements for giving early effect to the course indicated therein are now in progress.
