House of Lords (Members' Taxation Status) Bill [HL]
5:30 pm
Lord Elton (Conservative)
Did the noble Lord say that the Prentice Bill transgressed the principle of non-interference with personal taxation less than this Bill? Was that an endorsement of that Bill—in other words, have the Government undertaken to diminish their commitment to leaving that form of taxation as it is now until the end of the next Parliament? If not, what exactly did he mean when he said that?
