Finance Bill

Debate between Harriett Baldwin and Catherine McKinnell

Tuesday 2nd July 2013 Commons Chamber

[Catherine McKinnell]

Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker; I appreciate that clarification.

New clause 7 makes changes to the procedure for the granting of interim payments in common law claims relating to taxation matters so that the treatment of tax cases commenced under common law court claims and tax tribunals will be more closely aligned in future. We support this simplification process, and the Minister’s response to our probing questions during his generous explanation of the new clause has clarified the issue.

[Harriett Baldwin (West Worcestershire) (Con)]

Is it appropriate, Mr Deputy Speaker, that I now speak to amendments 52 and 53, tabled in my name?
