Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The 10-year period was picked because I thought that there needed to be some ring-fencing of the new clause. There are no worthwhile figures as yet for how long civil partnerships last, but 10 years is longer than the average marriage. One might say that that is because so many marriages break up so early, thereby dragging the average down, but that is the average figure.
