Select Committee on Treasury Minutes of Evidence


Examination of Witnesses (Question 120)

MR JOHN WHITING, DR MARTIN WEALE AND MR ROBERT CHOTE

17 MARCH 2008

  Q120  Chairman: Is this a scramble to find money from anywhere?

  Mr Whiting: It is a good question. Not only here but in a number of the anti-avoidance measures there are some quite impressive figures which, certainly looking at it as a tax adviser, I have to say those are quite rich figures and you do wonder whether those anti-avoidance measures will deliver the amounts which are pencilled in for them.

  Chairman: John, Robert, Martin, thanks very much for your time. It has been very helpful for us in our preparation for the Chancellor on Wednesday.
