division_name: Finance (No. 3) Bill
motion: <p class="indent" pid="d55.7/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;The facts of life are conservative.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d63.2/2" pwmotiontext="yes">That this House declines to give the Finance (No. 3) Bill a Second Reading because it derives from the 2018 Budget which confirmed the continuation of austerity and tax cuts for the wealthiest, failed to introduce a fair taxation system which protects middle and low earners but requires a greater contribution from the top 5 per cent of highest income earners, implied real terms per capita cuts for unprotected departments between 2019-20 and 2023-24, failed to halt roll-out of Universal Credit with planned social security cuts still to come, failed to raise the funding needed for mental health services, failed to provide the long-term funding needed for long-term adult social care, failed to provide adequate school funding, failed to address the funding gap that local councils face, failed to end the funding crisis facing public services, with police, teachers, nurses and doctors having no reassurances that the public sector pay squeeze will end in 2019, failed to tackle child poverty and growing inequality across our country, failed to tackle the fact that 87 per cent of the impact of the Government&#8217;s tax and benefit changes since 2010 has fallen on the shoulders of women, failed adequately to address climate change and delayed the much-needed reduction in the maximum stake for fixed-odds betting terminals until October 2019, and because the Bill is not based on an amendment of the law resolution, thus restricting the House&#8217;s ability to properly scrutinise and improve the Bill.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d69.2/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Worse than a corrupt government is an incompetent one, not least because having the second characteristic does not exclude the first&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d73.0/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Just 37 of the 90 substantive clauses in the Bill, and 12 of the 19 lengthy schedules, were included in the draft bill published for consultation over the summer.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d91.2/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;It implies that a much lower share of UK-wide income tax is coming from Scottish taxpayers.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d91.2/6" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;a relatively high income individual with a property in Scotland and one elsewhere in the UK, writing to HMRC to say, &#8216;I live more than half the year&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d98.0/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;provision for a &#163;1.3 billion tax cut for higher earners&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d103.1/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;While this incident would shock most people, it is actually the lower end of the scale.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d107.0/9" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;around half of total production growth in Quarter 3 was driven by manufacturing.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d111.0/8" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;the strong horse that pulls the whole cart.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d115.0/8" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;a &#163;100 million vote of confidence&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d121.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;should not therefore be regarded as suitable to be used or relied on by any other person or for any other purpose&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="d123.3/11" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;Our current agreement does not include funding to provide support to people once their claim is complete.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="italic" pid="d136.1/12" pwmotiontext="yes">The House divided:</p>
  
  <p pid="d136.1/13" pwmotiontext="yes">Ayes 279, Noes 302.</p>
