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

Trusts protect a wide range of some of the most vulnerable people in our community. If Members do not believe me, they should think back to my quotations from the Law Society—from people who are working on the ground managing people’s arrangements for their wills. It is probably in the interests of lawyers for the proposals to go through, because everyone will have to go to them to get their wills changed, yet they care so passionately about the ordinary, middle-income, hardworking, prudent people whom they represent that they are campaigning against the changes in order to enable them to continue to be able to set up the trusts they wish.
