Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Ian Swales (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

I certainly accept the Minister’s point about the timing for reporting back on the scheme. However, we are starting to see examples of the very few companies that are taking it up, and they seem to be focused on high earners in industries such as private equity, who arguably are not very worried about their employee rights anyway. For example, eight managers at European Capital each received the maximum £50,000 recently when they sold one of their businesses. Can the Minister say what kinds of companies are registering and how the scheme is working so far?
