Proceeding contribution from Stephen Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sale of Student Loans Bill.
Sale of Student Loans Bill
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that intervention. The purpose of my remarks was to get clarification of the amendments' meaning. The hon. Gentleman has participated in the scrutiny of many Finance Bills, so he will know that such transactions could well be the subject of anti-avoidance rules—or they certainly should be. The transaction in question happened several years ago. A Finance Bill is probably the correct place to ensure that an abuse of the sale of a Government asset does not take place. None the less, I was only seeking clarification and I look forward to hearing what the Minister has to say.
