Clause 4 - Consequential changes to tax relief provisions.
Social Security Contributions

Mr Howard Flight (Arundel and South Downs, Conservative)
I thank the Minister for his comments and I agree that the focus is on not getting double taxation relief. Will he re-examine the point before Report stage? Clause 2(4) does not remove the obligation to pay full NIC but actually reimposes it. He may have persuaded me that our concern is not justified, but I should be grateful if he would undertake to re-examine the clause to ensure that my concern is covered. On that basis, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
