National Insurance Contributions Bill

: On Second Reading, the hon. Gentleman held a discourse, which I am sure we are about to hear again, on rich friends in the City and across the world. In Committee, my hon. Friend the Member for Braintree (Mr. Newmark) asked the Paymaster General whether she could provide only two examples of what the clause would do. She said that she had provided a long list on Second Reading. I reread the Second Reading debate and could not find it, and she then said that she would provide it for us. I hope that she will do that later. However, perhaps the hon. Gentleman could give two clear examples of the effect of the clause before embarking on his long discourse about prejudice against the City of London.
