Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

I am slightly worried that the right hon. Gentleman is backing off from his previous positions. His principled approach has always been to advocate cuts in business taxation. For example, he has advocated the abolition of capital gains tax and stamp duty. I am worried that his radicalism is being blunted by external pressures. I hope that he can reassure us that he will continue to hold his previous principled positions.
