Proceeding contribution from Theresa Villiers (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 April 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No 2) Bill.

Finance (No. 2) Bill

No. I want to make some progress, but I promise that I shall give way later. That instability is illustrated by a number of the Bill’s more controversial clauses. Let us take clause 61, on the home computing initiative, which was announced with a fanfare in 1999, repackaged in 2004 because not enough people were using it and suddenly shut down in 2006 because too many people were using it. Many people will lose their jobs as a result of that change. According to the IT trade body Intellect, there are about 2,000 individuals working in this industry for whom Gordon Brown has just signed redundancy notes.
