Proceeding contribution from Greg Hands (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 12 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I am slightly confused by the amendment. It states""No further amendment may be made to section 5 of ALDA 1979"," but that section appears to apply only to spirits. The amendment does not mention section 36, which deals with beer, section 62, which deals with cider, or schedule 1, which deals with wine. Is it the hon. Gentleman's intention that only spirit duties be frozen for three years, or it is his intention that all duties be frozen for three years?
