Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
My hon. Friend reinforces my point: avoidance covers a variety of different things. In this case, it seems to cover conduct that a Government are trying to encourage, as well as conduct that a Government are trying to repress or stop. That is why the House needs a little more humility instead of rushing into saying, "There's all this tax being avoided." Some of it is being avoided for reasons that the previous Government approved of.
