Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) 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

If taxation is indeed the responsibility of Treasury Ministers, accepting the amendment would demonstrate that they recognised the damage that this change would do to the industry, and that they would be denying themselves revenue rather than increasing it. That in itself would put down a marker for the Minister's colleagues elsewhere in Government, indicating that she for one is prepared to listen, to recognise the size of the problem, and to act.
