motion: <p class="" pid="a.877.0/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, that the clause be read a Second time.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="a.877.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">I am delighted to have the opportunity to speak to new clause 1, albeit very briefly. It is rather ironic that this issue has probably been one of the most over-reported aspects of this Finance Bill, when it was not even in the Bill and we have only a minuscule amount of time to discuss it. Many colleagues here would like to speak to the new clause, and many others have come up to me to express their support.</p>

  <p class="" pid="a.883.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">The Finance Bill 2013 delivers the Government&#8217;s commitment to creating a tax system that is fair, that promotes growth and competitiveness and that rewards work. This Bill supports enterprise, helps families and ensures that everyone pays their fair share of tax.</p>
