§ 58. Captain WATERHOUSEasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was 238 the amount of revenue derived from Stamp Duty on the conveyance of real property of a value exceeding £500 and not exceeding £750 in the financial year 1923–24; and what proportion of this duty was in respect of the conveyance of house property?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLI regret that this information is not available. The net receipt of Stamp Duty in the financial year 1923–24 from conveyances of land and houses was £3,023,535, of which £2,738,350 was in respect of property exceeding £500 in value.
§ Captain WATERHOUSEIn view of the fact that workmen's dwellings have increased so much in price, will the right hon. Gentleman consider the amount of the Stamp Duty on the conveyances?
§ Mr. CHURCHILLCertainly, I will look into that.
