HC Deb 21 June 1910 vol 18 c322W
Mr. VINCENT KENNEDY

asked the Chief Secretary if he will request the Land Commission to so alter the form of the certificate of redemption value that it will disclose the amount of the annuity, the area of the holding, and the folio numbers?

Mr. BIRRELL

Certificates of redemption value of land purchase annuities are calculated and issued under Treasury Rules. They are required mainly for the purpose of assessing Stamp Duties on Transfer Deeds, or in connection with Probate or Administration Duties. The calculation is made for financial purposes only, and it is not desirable to burden the Certificate with other particulars of the holding which are properly obtainable in the Registration of Title Office.
