Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Borrie (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 21 December 2011.
Taxation: Inheritance Tax
- Question
- My Lords, the Minister said that it will take up to six months for the Government to reply to the Law Commission’s report. Why should it be necessary to take so much time? As the noble Lord knows only too well from recent events, there is a new procedure for getting Law Commission reports through this House if legislation is required. Will not the Government’s delay make that so much more difficult?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I understand that there is a protocol between the Government and the Law Commission that says that the Government have up to 12 months to give a provisional response to a Law Commission report.
