New charge on outstanding disguised remuneration loans

[BrilloPad]

I am a little behind the 8 ball here but how much influence do the Treasury Select Committee on pushing through 'HMRC' bills through parliament? Or do they remain neutral?

My local MP was one of the MPs who was on the Treasury Select Committee in 2008 that passed BN66/S58.

He was not aware of what he passed.

Once in the finance bill it has to become law or its a vote on no confidence in the government.

HMRC get what they want.

Treasury select committee has no direct intervention powers over the Finance Bill.

The FB is debated by a committee before going back to the ratified.

The Treasury Committee may wring their hands over a lack of proper consultation and administer a light tap on the wrist of Osbourne for minor infringements, but they're his lapdog and do as they're told.
