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


Capital Gains Tax

Analysis of the economy in my constituency shows that it contains about a third of the number of businesses in the average constituency in the land. That is partly because of the devastation wreaked on the economy in south Wales by another political party, but will the Chancellor confirm that he will do more to encourage entrepreneurship in former coalfield areas, and that he will ensure that the enterprise investment scheme and venture capital trusts really do deliver more jobs and more small businesses in those peripheral economies?
