Proceeding contribution from Mark Francois (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No. 2) Bill 2005-06.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

As I shall argue, the ultimate reason for the scrapping of the scheme by the Government is its cost. My hon. Friend has hit the nail on the head and the Paymaster General should explain why, if the scheme is not popular, the Treasury’s own projections in the Red Book and the regulatory impact assessment to 2011 forecast an increase in costs? If take-up is not good, why does the Treasury expect it to cost more? The Paymaster General must dig herself out of that hole.
