Proceeding contribution from Gordon Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 April 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Occupational Pensions.


Occupational Pensions

That is not true. [Interruption.] The shadow Chancellor thinks that the matter is so important that he did not even mention it in his speech. [Interruption.] The dividend tax credit was indeed paid to charities, but we gave them compensation for five years afterwards, and at the same time we introduced a major reform of charities. Gift aid was worth £135 million when we came in; it is now worth £750 million. I have not seen the Conservatives supporting what we have done in that area, either.
