HL Deb 02 August 1944 vol 133 cc81-2

Clause 3, page 4, line 43, at end insert: ("(5) Nothing in thy, said Section one shall be taken as bringing any agreement within Section twenty-eight of the Finance Act, 1931 (which requires instruments granting or transferring leases for a term of seven years or more to be produced to the Commissioners of Inland Revenue).")

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, this Amendment deals with a technical matter to which our attention has been called ay the Revenue. The object of this really is that the changes we are making in the Bill should not so turn out as to require the making of a new agreement that would have to carry a new stamp. I beg to move that we agree with the Commons in this Amendment.

Moved, That this House doth agree with the Commons in the said Amendment.—(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
