The imprinting of Revenue Stamps on documents :

Measures to implement Mr. Horvill's recommendations

are still under consideration. A system of control over

stamping machines and dies was drawn up and submitted to

District Commissioners who rejected it on the ground that

the necessary senior officers were not available. An

alternative proposal to centralize the stamping of documents

in Jerusalem was considered, but in view of the disturbed

state of the country no decision has yet been taken.

Insurance Undert kings:

36. For reasons of economy the High Commissioner decided

to postpone the appointment of an Insurance Expert to

investigate the situation and to make recommendations

regarding legislation for the control of insurance

undertakings.
