Clause 26 - Penalty for contravention of relevant rule
Finance Bill
11:00 am
Mr Stephen O'Brien (Eddisbury, Conservative)
On the contrary. Like all things, it takes time to prove one's worth. In any event, I understand that the Attorney-General has overall supervision of the prosecution affairs of Customs and Excise from recent times.
I listened carefully to the way that the Economic Secretary explained the interaction of subsections of clause 26. Therefore, in view of the undertaking that he gave my right hon. Friend the Member for Fylde that the matter would be kept under constant review, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
The Chairman, being of the opinion that the principle of the clause and any matters arising thereon had been adequately discussed in the course of debate on the amendments proposed thereto, forthwith put the Question, pursuant to Standing Orders Nos. 68 and 89, That the clause stand part of the Bill.
Question agreed to.
Clause 26 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
Clause 27 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
