Proceeding contribution from Emily Thornberry (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 October 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Climate Change.
Climate Change
Surely the point of green taxes is to change behaviour, but the revenues from a successful green tax will decrease. Does the hon. Gentleman not agree that the congestion charge is an example of a successful tax from which income has fallen, because fewer people are driving into central London? Why is the Liberal party’s central economic policy based on such peculiar economics?
