Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 January 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Capital Gains Tax.


Capital Gains Tax

I do not think that that is right. I have just explained that the cost of the proposals announced today is about £200 million, which will go back into the small business sector. It is important, however, that we not only help small businesses but maintain stable finances in this country. I am not sure that the right hon. Gentleman was a supporter of the Conservative Government all the time in the 1990s, but he will certainly remember that they got into real difficulties because they could not manage their own finances.
