I would refer the Deputy to my reply to his question of 12th May, 1964, in which I drew attention to the existing relief which provides for a reduced stamp duty of £1 per cent on purchases of houses for which grants under the Housing Acts are made. I regret that I am precluded by the budgetary position from considering any further relief at the present time.
