Finance Bill — Repeals — 19 Jul 2000
Amendment made: No. 91, in page 533, line 43, leave out "(3)" and insert "(4)".-- [Mr. Jamieson.]
I beg to move amendment No. 155, in page 77, line 11, leave out clause 106.
This is a probing amendment. We have been approached by the Chartered Institute of Taxation and the Law Society, which are still concerned about the wide scope of the wording of proposed new section 135A of the Finance Act 1993. In their opinion, the new provision is still capable of catching many companies that prepare their accounts in foreign currency for perfectly normal, commercial reasons rather than because of tax factors.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn .
I beg to move amendment No. 64, in page 79, line 29, leave out from beginning to "an" in line 30 and insert "Where".
Mr. Deputy Speaker:
With this it will be convenient to discuss the following: Government amendments Nos. 65 to 67.
We do not think there is any argument for not discounting general business under a fair value basis of measurement of liabilities.
I agree that the discounting calculation should proceed on a commercial basis, which is why I gave a commitment during the debate that the discount would include a risk margin.
Amendment agreed to .

Order for Third Reading read.
I beg to move, That the Bill be now read the Third time.
I say that with great pleasure and true feeling on behalf of a number of hon. Members who served on the Finance Bill Committee.
We can do better to avoid shooting ourselves in the foot . . . at a time of real pressures on manufacturing it must make sense to (a) to be careful about the impact of new initiatives--especially from the Treasury and (b) extremely sensitive over their presentation.
about a band of hydro-electric schemes . . . in the 10 to 25 MW capacity range, that, at some point in the future . . . may want to carry out refurbishment, and that may well be a point that needs to be considered at that stage.--[ Official Report , 18 July 2000; Vol. 354, c. 331.]
Question put, That the Bill be now read the Third time:--
