Finance Bill

The hon. Gentleman claims not to have been making a load of partisan points. I shall take his claim at face value; hon. Members can make up their own minds. He has finally got round to talking about his amendment and about new clause 13, both of which deal with transparency—an attractive proposition—and with generating reports and information, which is potentially attractive. He claims to be very concerned about the position of the 1.1 million people. Will he therefore tell us why he did not put his name to new clause 20?
