Finance Bill

Debate between Baroness Primarolo and Mel Stride

Tuesday 2nd July 2013 Commons Chamber

[Mel Stride]

Given the hon. Lady’s response to my previous intervention, I wanted to clarify the issue of John Mills and his donation to the Labour party. Does she accept that his donation is a case of tax avoidance—yes or no? [Interruption.]

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. Mr Sawford, I do not need your help in chairing the debate in the Chamber today. I have done enough Finance Bills to know what is in order and what is not in order. The question that has been put is about tax receipts, excluding the reference to individuals, and that is in order.

rose—

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. Has the hon. Lady given way or has she concluded?

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

Good. May I remind everybody that I am not in government?

[Mel Stride]

It is a great shame that you are not, Madam Deputy Speaker.

Will the hon. Member for Bethnal Green and Bow (Rushanara Ali), by the same token, apologise for the doubling of unemployment under the previous Government?
