§ Mr. Roweasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement about the stamp duty payable by off-market dealers in unlisted securities.
§ Mr. MooreThe Board of Inland Revenue is advised that as the law stands securities dealt in on the unlisted securities market are not listed securities for the purpose of section 100(4)(b) of the Finance Act 1980.

The Board of Inland Revenue will be issuing a statement of practice to this effect.
