HC Deb 05 June 1930 vol 239 c2384
78. Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGE

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will consider the advisability of so amending the Companies Act of 1929 that no transfer deed respecting the purchase or sale of securities of a limited company shall be stamped by the Inland Revenue Department for transfer duty unless and until the stamping authorities have received notification from the Registrar that the company whose securities are to be transferred has filed annual accounts and balance sheets as required by the Act?

Mr. W. GRAHAM

I have noted the suggestion for investigation when the desirability of amending legislation is being considered.
