Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I suspect that the actual outcome is that wealth is redistributed in favour of specialist lawyers and accountants, who benefit in proportion to the tax code’s size and complexity. The Paymaster General will have heard what my hon. Friend said. I rather suspect that I am intruding into a long-running private debate between the two of them. I am sure that she will respond in due course, or perhaps the Financial Secretary will do so.
