Clause 19 - Disclosure of VAT avoidance schemes
Finance Bill
4:30 pm
Mr John Butterfill (Bournemouth West, Conservative)
Order. Before the Economic Secretary responds, I point out to the Committee that there is a danger that we shall have a long debate on the clause, and a similar debate on schedule 2. Perhaps hon. Members would prefer that debate to be dealt with along with this clause; it may be best to do that now, and to deal only with the particularities of schedule 2, not the generality of the need for the clause. I shall proceed in that way if the Committee is happy. Two debates on the same subject seem to me a waste of time.
