Mr John Baron (Billericay, Conservative)
On consultation, while I accept what the Paymaster General said, many professional bodies in London and the country as a whole are unaware of the consultation on schedule 22, which she claims has taken place. I do not doubt her word, but I ask her to bear that in mind. Consultation on the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Bill extended for some two to three years. The consultation period for schedule 23 started at about Christmas time, but many are saying
that there has been hardly any consultation on schedule 22. If the Paymaster General has had discussions, could she inform the Committee with whom she has had them?
