Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 May 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Income Tax.
Income Tax
I agree. Many people in this country remember what happened in the 1980s and 1990s, when people lost their jobs and received no help from the Government to help them get back on their feet. They also remember a time when interest rates were in double figures and people found themselves in substantial difficulties. They received no help because the then Government's position was so weak that they could do nothing to help them.
