Finance Bill — New Clause 4 — Tax Law Commission — 6 Jul 2005 at 14:45

Stewart Jackson MP, Peterborough voted in the minority (Aye).

The issue in this division was whether to put forward a new clause for the Finance Bill, which enacts the budget provisions. The new clause, which was proposed by the Conservative front bench, would have required the Treasury to set up a commission to examine the tax laws and report on how they could be simplified.
