Proceeding contribution from Bridget Prentice (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 25 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Disqualification from Parliament (Taxation Status) Bill.


Disqualification from Parliament (Taxation Status) Bill

The hon. Gentleman makes an ingenious intervention, and I am sure that he will have the opportunity to raise the issue again in the next dozen or so days when we debate European matters. Ingenious as it is, however, it is not absolutely relevant to the question before us today. The Bill has some potential technical problems, and the hon. Member for Beaconsfield (Mr. Grieve) has raised one. I want to mention some others. For example, only this week Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs published proposed amendments to the residence and domicile tax rules. Those are still being consulted on, so I would be cautious about cross-referencing the Bill to any of the current tax residency rules, because of possible changes.
