Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodman of Wycombe (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No 2) Bill.

Finance (No. 2) Bill

I am surprised that the Minister did not ask me that in Committee. However, the line of inquiry that I am about to pursue is the same as the one that I pursued in Committee. Strictly speaking, it is not predicated on the Energy Act 2004 but on the question of whether a private company would enjoy the tax advantages enjoyed by public companies. As I said, I am not entirely satisfied with the answers that I received from the Paymaster General in Committee—that may explain why the right hon. Lady was so anxious to intervene on me—and neither, it appears, is the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West.
