That the duty of sixpence shall be substituted for certain duties at present chargeable under the Stamp Act, 1891, by reference to the heading "Policy of Sea Insurance" and that such consequential amendments of the law shall be made as may be necessary for this purpose.
This is a small matter. An alteration was made in the stamp duty chargeable on marine policies in the British Budget. We understand that, if we do not make the same change, the policies will all come here to be stamped.
