Clause 17
Finance (No. 2) Bill
10:00 am
Brooks Newmark (Braintree, Conservative)
I am always encouraged when the Paymaster General tries to answer my questions. Unfortunately, I have to go back a bit. She said that the purpose was to rewrite schedule 10. As I see from the explanatory notes, and to reiterate a point made by my hon. Friend the Member for Rayleigh, the purpose of rewriting the schedule is to make its language clearer and easier to use. Once again, I reflect on the comments of the Chartered Institute of Taxation and its concern about the impact that the changes will have on lay persons. I want an assurance from the right hon. Lady that the changes will be in a format that is clearer and easier to use.
