Proceeding contribution from Brooks Newmark (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

My hon. Friend beats me to my peroration, which, sadly, I will now have to leave aside. I want to address, however, the damage that has been done to the reputation of environmental taxation by this debacle. The Treasury claimed that APD would save 1.1 million tonnes of CO2 annually, but it is left to the Environmental Audit Committee to remind us that that is a cut in projected growth, not a cut in absolute terms.
