Clause 5 - General functions of the Board
Employment Bill
6:00 pm
Mr Alan Johnson (Minister of State (Employment and the Regions), Department of Trade and Industry; Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle, Labour)
I note what the hon. Gentleman says about the 1890 Inland Revenue legislation, although it has not appeared anywhere on my radar screens. On the payroll arrangements, my understanding is that the Carter review does not conclude its consultation period until the end of January. We would expect matters to move on from then.
