Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

They are extremely high. I tabled one new clause and one amendment. They are excellent and I recommend them to hon. Members, but they would not be necessary if the Prime Minister had not sought to wrong-foot the leader of the Conservative party and achieve the Thatcherite dream by pulling a rabbit out of a hat and doubling the 10p tax rate, which adversely affected the income of 5.3 million households. That is a reasonable point, although I can understand that Labour Members do not want to dwell on it.
