Economic Affairs Sub-Committee on the Finance Bill

The House of Lords Economic Affairs Finance Bill Sub-Committee considers aspects of the Finance Bill from the point of view of technical issues of tax administration, clarification and simplification rather than rates or incidence of tax.

In 2003 the House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs first appointed a Sub-Committee to inquire into selected aspects of that year's Finance Bill.

Each year the Economic Affairs Committee aims to publish a report drawn up by its Sub-Committee in time to enable members of the House of Commons, if they so wish, to draw on its recommendations in moving amendments to the Bill at the Report Stage. The report should also inform the second reading debate of the Bill in the House of Lords.
