I have just one point. How does that interrelate with the tax rewrite provisions that have previously been agreed? Clearly we would not want to sanction or agree to a major reform of the law of taxation similar to the tax rewrite proposals being dealt with under this order-making power. We would expect it to continue to be dealt with in the way that it has been. Perhaps the Minister can give us an assurance about that.
