§ Mr. YERBURGHasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention had been drawn to the case of the allotment holders under the Brislington parish council, who, numbering 105 and renting between them some ten and a-half acres. at a rental in the majority of cases of only 10s. per annum, have each to pay 1s. stamp duty on the agreement for tenancy; and whether he can see his way to exempt allotment tenancy agreements, when the rent is under a certain sum, from stamp duty altogether, and, if not, then to reduce the duty?
§ Mr. LLOYD GEORGEMy attention has been called to the case referred to. As regards the last part of the question, I beg to refer to my reply to the hon. Baronet the Member for Wandsworth on the 25th of July last.
