Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Friend finishes, does he accept that the Government would do well to look at the whole income tax system for the future and to take an opportunity—certainly in the next Budget—to make the system more progressive, more redistributive and more graduated in the middle range, with higher taxes on the rich and distinctly lower taxes on the poor?
