Finance (No. 2) Bill

This is a debate in which it would be good to have answers to questions. I asked the right hon. Lady’s Department questions a month ago, but I have not had answers, so I have to ask those questions now, in this format—otherwise I might have been able to accelerate her speech. Will she please do the Committee the courtesy of producing the evidence that she has about the so-called abuse of the scheme? It does not exist. The industry specifically asked for MP3 players not to be included in the scope of the scheme, but the Treasury insisted that they should be. The industry would be happy to see them excluded. The other equipment to which she referred was not being offered under the terms of the scheme; it was being offered as part of marketing brochures alongside it. The full price was paid. If she has that evidence, please will she produce it? It is important that we see it.
