Proceeding contribution from Stephen Hesford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No 2) Bill.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

In simple terms, as I understand the matter, before the change took place in 2004 the rate was 20 per cent. That rate was introduced as a temporary two-year measure to increase VCTs, which it has done. I understand that the hon. Gentleman is making that point. The Government are now regularising the situation consonant with that prior to 2004, to a higher rate—30 per cent. What is wrong with that?
