Proceeding contribution from Jane Kennedy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
Will the hon. Gentleman allow me to quote one or two comments that are entirely independent of the Government? The Financial Times editorial on 25 January this year said that there was a ““strong case”” that 80 per cent.—let me put my teeth back in; it is 18 per cent.—is ““fair””. Lisa Macpherson, the national tax director with accountants PKF said on 28 February that the new capital gains tax legislation is ““simple and sensible.”” On 24 January, John Wright of the Federation of Small Businesses said:"““The Chancellor said specifically today that he wanted to help small businesses facing big tax rises from April and that is very good news indeed.””"
