Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the Bill.

Mr. Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield) rose—

May I point out to the Committee that the clause is incredibly narrow?

Indeed, Mr. McWilliam. I was simply going to ask whether the clause is necessary. It is extremely oddly worded. It is headed, ''Tax'', and says:

Schedule 7 contains provisions about tax.

I do not understand why clause 433 has to tell us that.

I understand that that is necessary because there cannot be a schedule without a clause to introduce it. Given the contents of the schedule, the clause could hardly be shorter, and I cannot understand how the hon. Gentleman could object to it.

I was not objecting to the clause itself. It is so short that I thought I should say something about it before we move on to other matters.

Question put and agreed to.

Clause 433 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
