Proceeding contribution from Baroness Primarolo (Labour) 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 hon. Lady does not know what she is talking about. Legally qualified Conservative Members pointed out on Second Reading that the legal advice is always to review one’s will regularly—at least every two years. If I decide that I want to vary my will, I do not have to go to the High Court to do it; I vary my will. The regulations in place for a variation of a will after death or in the circumstances of incapacity—as raised on Second Reading—are clear. Opposition Members are trying to isolate the measure completely from the interaction of all the inheritance tax and trust rules, and they are simply wrong.
