Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Bill

May I take this opportunity to reiterate the remarks that I have made in some of those double taxation treaty statutory instrument committees? I know that there is potentially a backlog in getting through some of the treaties, such is the number that have been entered into in recent years, and the Opposition are willing to co-operate with the Government to ensure that we can get through as many of those as possible. We think that that adds to the attractiveness of the UK as an economic proposition, as well as addressing some of the concerns about tax avoidance.
