HC Deb 19 January 2000 vol 342 c511W
Mr. Sanders

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much has been raised annually from stamp duty on large-scale voluntary transfers in each of the last five years. [104795]

Miss Melanie Johnson

Transfers of properties to charities are exempt from stamp duty. About three-quarters of registered social landlords are charities, but figures are not readily available on the amount of stamp duty paid on large-scale voluntary transfers from local authorities to non-charitable registered social landlords.
