Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I say to my hon. Friend, however, that the key is certainty. Whenever the change were to happen, there would be some businesses that would be open overnight. Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs will need to work with businesses and give advice about how to apportion revenue between the "before" and "after" periods. The key is certainty, and giving businesses ample time to prepare for the change.
