Clause 1 - Amendment of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988
Retirement Income Reform Bill
2:15 pm
Mr John Healey (Economic Secretary, HM Treasury; Wentworth, Labour)
I do not suggest for a moment that there is anything suspicious, but I am taking this opportunity to confirm the points that are of concern to the Christian Brethren. Because of the carry-over from the previous Bill, this amendment relates to the particular discussions and provisions considered then. I welcome the hon. and learned Gentleman's
confidence that making appropriate provision for the Christian Brethren is best pursued through working with the Inland Revenue, and can be left to us, rather than including such provision in the Bill. The technical change is a tidying-up change. In many respects, it has no substantive force in the Bill.
