New schedule 2 - Limited liability partnerships: investment LLPs and property investment LLPs
Finance Bill
6:45 pm
Mr Edward O'Hara (Knowsley South, Labour)
I thank hon. Members for their generous comments about me and my fellow Chairmen.
I offer personal thanks to Mr. Jimmy Hood for standing in for me when I was moving house last week. I, too, was taken by surprise at the fact that we did not have an early general election, and my house was sold, so I had nowhere to live.
Many hon. Members are part of the old team that met during the proceedings on last year's Finance Bill. The new team has also been good, and I thank all hon. Members for their co-operation. I also thank the Clerk for the assistance that he has given to me and the whole Committee
As events have proceeded at such great pace today and during recent weeks, I am afraid that I have not had the opportunity to arrange a room where Committee members can have a drink together to celebrate the end of consideration of the Bill. However, tomorrow will be a nice summer day, and I should be happy for people to join me on the Terrace for a glass of Pimms at lunchtime.
Bill, as amended, to be reported.
Committee rose at Seven o'clock.
