Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.

Finance (No. 3) Bill

The tax system needs to be simpler. Simplicity reduces the burdens on businesses—[Hon. Members: ““Give way!””] Let me finish this point, then I will give way to the right hon. Gentleman. Simplicity reduces the burdens on businesses, individuals and HM Revenue and Customs. The Office of Tax Simplification set up last summer has already provided the first in a series of recommendations, and the Bill takes forward the first of those recommendations by removing tax reliefs. We will introduce further abolitions next year, after a period of consultation.
