Clause 24
Saving Gateway Accounts Bill
9:30 am
Jeremy Browne (Taunton, Liberal Democrat)
I rise to speak to amendment 14, in clause 24, page 11, line 7, leave out ‘given’ and insert ‘received’.
The amendment has exactly the same purpose as that which we have just rejected. The clause says that an appeal must be given
“30 days after the date on which the notice of the decision was given”,
and the amendment seeks to change “given” to “received”. However, I think that we examined the issue during our previous discussion, so I do not know whether it is good form to carry on. I shall let the Economic Secretary say his bit and then I shall defer, unless he says something truly shocking. [Interruption.] I am happy—unless he feels it discourteous—not to move the amendment.
