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

The tax regime in this country, whether it is the lowest corporation tax rates that we have ever had—due to come down again in April—the capital gains tax regime, or the incentives provided through enterprise investment schemes or venture capital trusts, has a whole range of measures that have helped businesses. On top of that, we have been able to maintain a strong and stable economy, with low levels of inflation, which has also encouraged long-term investment. That is very different from the situation 15 or 20 years ago.
