Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

My I endorse what was said by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Rob Marris)? We raised the point in Committee, and he is absolutely right. I know that the Government's proposals date back to some years ago, but it is the case that if the first spouse died before either 1974 or 1972, he or she will not benefit from the nil rate band. We urge the Government to reconsider.
