Finance Bill

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for giving way to me again. There are Whips all round the Chamber, who do not routinely see me as a paid-up member of the deferential patsy tendency from which ministerial aspirants are traditionally selected. However, I can tell my right hon. Friend that with a huge amount of trust and good will, which I hope will be repaid in the pre-Budget report, and after great agonising, I shall not at this stage move—[Hon. Members: ““Ah!””]. It is all very well people saying that, but I shall not be moving new clause 20, and I underline that point to my right hon. Friend.
