Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from John McDonnell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

I will be fairly brief.

Under the last Government, I moved amendments like the new clause on virtually every Finance Bill. It has always made me anxious when Governments resist the requirement to provide information. That is all that is sought in the new clause. It simply looks to ensure that the House is properly informed about the impact of a differential tax rate. For the life of me, I could not understand why such amendments were resisted by the last Government, and I cannot understand why the new clause is being resisted now.
