Tax Law Rewrite Project

HC Deb 26 May 1999 vol 332 c183W

Ms Lawrence

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if there have been further developments on the Tax Law Rewrite project. [85668]

Dawn Primarolo

I am pleased to be able to tell the House about yet another publication from the Tax Law Rewrite project. The Inland Revenue will shortly publish the project's sixth Exposure Draft, which contains draft clauses on employment income. Copies will be placed in the Libraries of the House.

This Exposure Draft is the third to be published in the last three months. The work of the project is gathering pace and we can look forward to further publications later in the year.
