European Union (Amendment) Bill

I am always hesitant to say anything to the noble Lord when I do not quite know his source. Often in these discussions, a particular issue is bubbling away. Healthcare was a good example. If I had simply stood up and said, ““No, we are not doing anything on healthcare””, that would have been factually incorrect. It is nothing to do with the treaty, but there is a proposal on healthcare. I know of nothing to do with taxation, but I want to check—which I will in the break—before I say categorically, ““Never, no, never””, on anything to do with tax; not direct tax, of course, although the noble Lord may be quoting from a source that I have not yet seen.
