  1. (a) executed in the period beginning with 22nd March 2000 and ending with the day on which the Finance Bill is passed, and
  2. (b) stamped on or before the day on which the Bill is passed,
where stamp duty was chargeable in respect of the instrument and, had the instrument been executed after the day on which the Bill is passed, no stamp duty or less stamp duty would have been chargeable.—[Mr. Jamieson.]
