asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer the amount realised by the Stamp Duty on registered securities in the financial years 1913–14, 1917,18, 1818–19, and 1919–20 when the rate was one-half per cent.; and the amount contributed in each succeeding financial year to date after the increase of the rate to one per cent. by the Finance Act of 1920?
