HC Deb 13 July 1976 vol 915 cc437-8

'In Schedule 6 to the Finance Act 1975, in paragraph 13(2)(f), for the words "or historic or scientific" there shall be substituted the words "scientific, historic or artistic".'.—[Mr. Denzil Davies.]

Brought up, and read the First time time.

Mr. Denzil Davies

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

This new clause goes with the previous one, New Clause 19. It fulfils the undertaking given by my right hon. Friend the Chief Secretary to meet the substance of New Clause 80, which I think was moved in Committee by the hon. Member for Bristol, West (Mr. Cooke).

Mr. Hordern

By happy coincidence, this clause allows the Minister of State to give the answer for which he was perhaps searching on a previous new clause. However, if he is unable to give me a reply I shall table a suitable amendment to the clause later on. If it is convenient, however, perhaps he may give me a reply at this stage.

Mr. Robert Cooke

If the Minister is unable to reply, I shall join my hon. Friend and many Opposition Members in tabling an amendment that will enable us to discuss this matter later, subject, of course, to your selecting the amendment, Mr. Speaker.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause read a Second time, and added to the Bill.
