Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kennedy of the Shaws (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 April 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Cohabitation Bill [HL].
Cohabitation Bill [HL]
How would the noble Baroness answer the question about whether her amendment would drive a coach and horses through taxation law? The noble Baroness may not believe that inheritance tax should exist but I happen to believe very strongly that it should exist because of the distortions created within society by the passing on of great riches. Would this provision not be used as a way of undermining the taxation system which seeks to create greater equity within our society?
