Proceeding contribution from Greg Clark (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 March 2006. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.


Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

Did my right hon. Friend notice that, in recalling the Lawson Budget, the hon. Member for Doncaster, North (Edward Miliband) made no reference to another of Nigel Lawson’s principles, namely tax simplification? It was his ambition to abolish a tax in every Budget, but the ambition of the present Chancellor seems to be to add a new tax at every Budget. Does my right hon. Friend agree that that is the wrong direction to take?
