Bail (Amendment) — New Clause 5 — Transfer of personal allowances between spouses — 28 Jun 2011 at 22:45

George Eustice MP, Camborne and Redruth voted with the majority (No).

I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.

In the last Parliament the Prime Minister and other senior Conservatives repeatedly expressed their commitment to recognise marriage in the tax system. There were some very strong statements, particularly by the Prime Minister. For instance, in Glasgow, in July 2008, he said:

Ayes 23, Noes 473.
