Finance Bill

Debate between Nigel Evans and Mary Creagh

Tuesday 20th July 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

Funnily enough, I was waiting for that point of order to be made earlier. The Order Paper is always correct, and this debate could indeed go on until any time.

[Mary Creagh]

In that case, Mr Deputy Speaker, I am happy to take all interventions, even though I have spent three minutes clarifying those points.

--- Later in debate ---

[Mr Deputy Speaker]

The relevance is the subject of VAT, which is addressed in the Bill, but I would reiterate the guidance given before I took the Chair, which is that people must, please, keep to the contents of the Bill and show some restraint, as many Members wish to speak.

[Mary Creagh]

We have had a debate on the higher-rated goods, which will be permanently more expensive following the votes that we will have this evening, but I also want to talk about the cuts to Labour’s child trust fund.
