Ruth Kelly: Good afternoon, Mr. Gale. The Government are concerned about the growing avoidance of stamp duty by a minority at the expense of the majority of taxpayers. In particular, some companies are determined not to pay their full share of duty and structure property transactions in increasingly artificial ways to achieve that. Such activity represents a significant threat to the tax base. To stop...

Ruth Kelly: Clauses 23 and 24, I believe, although the hon. Gentleman may be right. They retain stamp duty on partnership transactions and modify the consideration where that partnership has land assets.

Stephen Timms: The key point is that stamp duty land tax legislation includes a general relief for transfers between public bodies in connection with a statutory reorganisation, which means that, in most cases, it is no longer necessary to write stamp duty tax reliefs into legislation that includes provision for transferring land between such bodies. To clarify, the clause repeals the existing stamp duty...
