HC Deb 12 June 1980 vol 986 cc245-6W
Mr. David Price

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if it is his intention to introduce legislation in the next Session of Parliament dealing with taxation matters not of a budgetary nature ; and if he will list the main taxation matters to be included in such a Bill.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

There are clear attractions to the idea of an occasional, separate, autumn Finance Bill. There are, of course, great pressures on parliamentary time for legislation, but I hope that a technical autumn Finance Bill can be regarded as a realistic possibility later during the present Parliament.
