I know that the hon. Gentleman did not miss it; there were some significant corporate tax cuts in the Budget this year, and we discussed them in Committee this week, under the main corporation tax rate cut in Clause 2.

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.
