Proceeding contribution from John Healey (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

If someone is genuinely operating on their own account and essentially running their own affairs and engaging their labour through a managed service company, they clearly will not be caught by the provisions before us. I answered many of the questions that the hon. Lady raised about freelancers on Second Reading, and she will have the opportunity to probe this one in a lot more detail and depth in the Public Bill Committee. I am happy that we should do that, but the intention behind the legislation is clear, and it is not to catch those genuinely in business on their own account and managing their own affairs—[Interruption.]
