Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No. 2) Bill 2005-06.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

The Paymaster General is right that there is no change to the rules on making outright transfers to the spouse. The Government propose to change the rules where trusts are set up for spouses, which is a significant restriction of the spousal exemption. Section 18 of the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 explicitly refers to the ability to set up trusts, and the Paymaster General proposes to limit the ability of people to set up such trusts.
