National Insurance Contributions Bill

At least we have got the Minister to come to the House and give explanations, for which we are grateful. That surely is one of the objectives of this part of our proceedings and I look forward to many more such prolonged examinations of Bills at this crucial Report stage. Mainly because I want to give my right hon. Friend the Member for East Yorkshire (Mr. Knight) an opportunity to move the next group of amendments, I reluctantly beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
