Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has made an assessment of the potential impact of UK stamp duty on the level of share trading volumes in Metlen.

Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax are forecast to raise up to £5.1bn per year combined to help fund vital public services. The framework of the taxes contains many reliefs and exemptions which are designed to provide a boost to growth, liquidity, and trading volumes in UK listed companies.

The government keeps this area of tax under review.
