§ 24. Mr. HANCOCKasked the Home Secretary whether any penalties have been paid after stamping of deeds in England since 1917; and, if so, will he give the amount for each year and the amount remitted or returned?
§ Major BOYD-CARPENTERI have been asked to reply to this question. Particulars of the amounts paid as penalties on after stamping are given in the annual reports of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue. The amounts for the years 1921–22 and 1922–23 are £8,756 and £16,690 respectively. I am unable to give the amount by which the full penalties legally exigible exceed the amounts paid.
