I fully understand the hon. Gentleman’s comments. Is he aware that the aggregates levy was introduced on 1 April 2002? If the Clause goes through, it will put up the levy by the amount to which he referred from 1 April 2008. That will be the first rise in six years.

Clause

A parliamentary bill is divided into sections called clauses.

Printed in the margin next to each clause is a brief explanatory `side-note' giving details of what the effect of the clause will be.

During the committee stage of a bill, MPs examine these clauses in detail and may introduce new clauses of their own or table amendments to the existing clauses.

When a bill becomes an Act of Parliament, clauses become known as sections.
