HC Deb 29 March 1923 vol 162 cc726-7W
Mr. A. BENNETT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the declining revenue from the two per cent. stamp duty on Foreign securities and our loss of Foreign business, he will consider the desirability of reverting to the lower pre-war rate under which the amount obtained by the revenue authorities in 1912–13 and 1913–14 was much greater than is now the case?

Mr. BALDWIN

The hon. Member will not expect mo, in a matter of this kind, to anticipate my Budget Statement.
