Finance Bill
9:00 am
Nicholas Winterton (Macclesfield, Conservative)
May I welcome hon. Members to the third sitting of the Finance Bill Committee. It may still be a slightly early hour for some, but summer has finally arrived, and I welcome the sun and the blue sky. The Opposition may welcome the arrival of summer in many different ways, but I am sure that that will not affect the way in which the Committee conducts its business today.
