Proceeding contribution from Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The problem is that the hon. Gentleman has tried to word the new clause so that it covers all circumstances, but he has failed. The new clause is unworkable. It would be much more sensible to have flexibility, so that the Chancellor can act, I hope sensibly—[Interruption.] If it were a Liberal Democrat Chancellor, he would act sensibly. Scottish National party Members are trying to use wording that will cover every possible eventuality, which is difficult, and they have failed.
