Clause 38 - Expenses of management:
Finance Bill
5:15 pm
Mr Mark Prisk (Shadow Minister, Economic Affairs; Hertford and Stortford, Conservative)
I accept the broader points, and we may have an opportunity to consider them in a moment, but does the Paymaster General accept that the provision creates a tax nothing? Given that the Government's shared objective with business is to reduce, if not eliminate, tax nothings, does that not conflict with the Government's overall aims?
