motion: <p class="" pid="c.840.0/1" pwmotiontext="yes">I beg to move, That the clause be read a Second time.</p>
  
  <p class="" pid="c.840.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">We now come to the last of our debates on the Finance Bill today. New clause 12 would require a report by the Chancellor within six months of Royal Assent, setting out further proposals to reduce the tax advantages arising from tax arrangements that are abusive. It makes particular reference to the quoted eurobonds exemption, disguised employment in the construction sector, and the use of dormant companies as a means of tax avoidance. The new clause would require an assessment of the impact of all three on total receipts paid to the Exchequer.</p>
