Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

My right hon. Friend rightly talks about winners and losers. Would it not simplify the situation if the only losers were the very rich? They would pay more tax, which would not complicate the system, because they do not claim benefits, and no one on average or low incomes would need to be a loser at all.
