Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) 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

The hon. Gentleman makes a good point about the importance of stability supporting the growth of small businesses. Does he agree that the instability in the macro-economy, the rise in interest rates and the recession of the late 1980s did far more to damage small businesses than any changes in taxation that have taken place in the past 10 or 20 years?
