Finance Bill

The amendment has not been put yet. As I understand it—I was not in the Chair at the time—the hon. Member for Eastleigh was stopped by the Committee deciding to end its proceedings at that point. The Committee went away, and the situation is unfortunate. We do not know the reason for his arriving late, but he arrived after the similar amendment was moved by a member of the Opposition. I do not see anything that transgresses ''Erskine May'' or any other Standing Order of the House. We are debating amendment No. 105 and not amendment No. 104. I remind the Committee that the question on amendment No. 104 has never been proposed.
