Proceeding contribution from Mark Hoban (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

The hon. Gentleman was not able to explain why the former Chancellor made the change, and he ruled out incompetence. Let me ask the hon. Gentleman another question: given that the problem was known a year ago, why has it taken the Chief Secretary to the Treasury so long—a year—to suggest that a review be undertaken? Is the timing down to the imminence of next Monday's vote?
