Proceeding contribution from Alistair Burt (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 May 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Income Tax.
Income Tax
Does not the Chancellor admit, even to himself, a twinge of embarrassment that instead of coming here as a great reforming Chancellor, he has produced a shabby deal which is designed to get himself, the Government and his right hon. Friend the Prime Minister out of a fix of his own making? Does he believe for a moment that anyone beyond those on the Benches behind him will not see this announcement for exactly what it is: the most shameless attempt to buy a by-election since the Humber bridge?
