Proceeding contribution from Andrew Turner (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill.


Charities Bill

There are two answers to that. First, since 1891 that has not been the case. That was codified at that time. Secondly, I think that it was Gladstone who thought that tax relief was public expenditure. I do not share that view. Tax relief is people keeping their own money, not the state spending money.
