Proceeding contribution from John Bercow (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

I am a bit suspicious. I have a high regard for the Paymaster General, but she treated a serious and thoughtful inquiry from my hon. Friend the Member for Chipping Barnet (Mrs. Villiers) as an opportunity to launch into a stream of rather unnecessary invective. May I ask the Paymaster General a simple question? Is she seriously saying that it is ordinarily possible for someone to alter the terms of an existing trust as quickly, simply or inexpensively as that person could alter his or her will? That was the gravamen of the question that my hon. Friend asked, and it deserved a more serious response.
