Clause 346 - Abolition of the Office of Tax Simplification

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

I agree about that and I am glad to hear that the Minister is making decisions on a host of issues, although politically we may not always have the same approach to them. She was talking about...

Clause 346 - Abolition of the Office of Tax Simplification

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

Will the Minister give way?

Clause 346 - Abolition of the Office of Tax Simplification

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

There is clearly a difference between the accrued complexity across a particular tax from end to end, which can gather barnacles over time, and a ministerial decision on whether to opt explicitly...

Clause 346 - Abolition of the Office of Tax Simplification

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

New clause 1 is also part of this group. As a member of the Treasury Committee, which fairly collectively signed new clause 1, I will speak to the new clause, as well as to the Scottish National...

Clause 330 - Designation of sites

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

The Minister would be very, very unpopular in my constituency if she referred to it as Liverpool. I represent the Wirral, which is over the river, where the Mersey ferry goes when it ferries...

Clause 330 - Designation of sites

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

I am glad that there are positive examples of investment, but what I am talking about is the macroeconomic levels, which demonstrate that we are not where we should be. Essentially, investment...

Clause 330 - Designation of sites

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

There is an ongoing issue in this country, and in our economy, with investment and with the ability to ensure that we can remake our prosperity as a country and make our way in the 21st century...

Clause 326 - Rates of landfill tax

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

I am fascinated by the work of the joint unit for waste crime. I am slightly horrified that 2,500 illegal waste sites were closed. It is good that they are closed, but it is horrifying that there...

Clause 326 - Rates of landfill tax

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

This is a group of clauses on environmental taxes, and the Minister has taken us through some of the technical changes and some of the upratings that are required by law. There is a gap on the...

Clause 321 - New bands and rates

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

I thank the Minister for undertaking to let us have that information, given the particular circumstances that prevail in Northern Ireland. Can he say a little bit about whether there is any...

Clause 321 - New bands and rates

Finance No. 2 Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

Will the Minister tell us how clause 322(4), which devolves these issues to the Northern Ireland Assembly, will work, given that the Assembly is not sitting at the moment? Does it mean that this...

Clause 320 - Flavour concentrates

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

I wonder which sugary drinks the Minister is addicted to—perhaps she will tell us when we are not sitting in public. We are dealing here with a technical change to the successful sugar tax,...

Clause 319 - Rates of tobacco products duty

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

We are obviously dealing with a product that kills and, as the Minister said, cost the public purse £21 billion a year. That is why there is cross-party support for the tobacco duty...

Clause 315 - Dumping, subsidisation and safeguarding remedies

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

The clause seems quite mild, but it seems to have many implications for the policing of import duties; the prevention of widespread dumping or misuse of products on our markets, which could...

Clause 314 - Deposit schemes

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

Obviously, the VAT rules account for some of the most complex parts of the duties and excise that the Minister has to wrestle with on a day-to-day basis. When one talks to businesses of all...

Clause 313 - Transactions funded with the assistance of a public subsidy

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

Another question occurs to me: is the scheme only for Afghans and Ukrainians, or does it accommodate other homeless people who are fleeing conflict? It is clear that those who have fled...

Clause 313 - Transactions funded with the assistance of a public subsidy

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Stringer. This is not the first time that I have been on a Committee with you in the Chair. Will the Minister give a view about how many...

Clause 82 - Approval requirement: producers

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

It is obviously important, when we get on to enforcement, that we are confident that HMRC is on top of this. The Minister was a bit coy about when these clauses will come into being, so perhaps...

Clause 44 - Meaning of “alcoholic product”

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

Clause 44 - Meaning of “alcoholic product”

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Angela Eagle made a speech in a committee scrutinising a proposed law

I agree with the hon. Lady’s comments about the potential role of the Treasury Committee, although I am not the Chair—I am only one modest member. She might want to have a word with...
