Clause 39 - Polygamous marriages
Tax Credits Bill
4:30 pm
Mr Peter Luff (Mid Worcestershire, Conservative)
That is true. You are entirely right, Mr. Beard, and I think that the hon. Member for Northavon also makes an important point that the Government should reflect on before the Bill is considered on Report. Let the record show that the Minister indicated dissent.
On the basis that any member of the Committee who votes that the clause stand part of the Bill does not endorse polygamy or polyandry, I would not wish to force the Paymaster General to say any more and I am grateful to her for her remarks.
Question put and agreed to.
Clause 39 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clauses 40 to 43 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
