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

Finance Bill

I am not convinced that the hon. Gentleman is right. We have to look. Undoubtedly, there were a number of Members—probably on both sides of the House—who knew that there was an issue. Has the hon. Gentleman's party, knowing that there was a problem, merely sat quietly and brought the issue to the fore only in the run-up to the local and mayoral elections? We can all have conspiracy theories. Many on the Labour side had deep concerns, which they raised hoping that the matter would be corrected. It has not been. That is why I am saying that any amendment next week will not put the issue right.
