Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

As I said, we are looking to forge a progressive consensus and I look forward to doing so. It should be possible to have a consensus that is progressive if we can involve most Members of the House—although perhaps not all. I quoted the Pensions Commission in that context as an example of one area where we can reach a consensus. On the particular opinions that Lord Turner set out in the House of Lords, I disagree with him and will set out why during the course of my speech.
