Amendment summary
Lord Marks of Henley-on-Thames moved, as an amendment to the motion in the name of Lord Keen of Elie, leave out from “that” to the end and insert “this House declines to approve the draft Order, because it would be an abuse of the fee-levying power, since the proposed increased fees substantially exceed the cost involved in making grants of probate and would amount to a tax, which should only be introduced, if at all, by primary legislation.”
