Proceeding contribution from Lord Bach (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 March 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill.
Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill
I am sorry to interrupt, but it is not so much that this is good for the Government—it is good for the taxpayer. Surely that should be one of the main considerations. If it is good for the Government, that is fine; but if it is the taxpayer who will benefit, because creditors get their money, as it were—the HMRC gets its money by taking advantage of the amendment—I cannot see why the Government are resisting this.
