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


Finance Bill

Is my right hon. Friend saying that the serious changes that will affect the lives of millions of our poor constituents have come about through a spontaneous outpouring of pressure and concern from Labour Back Benchers? The right hon. Member for Witney (Mr. Cameron) and the hon. Member for Tatton (Mr. Osborne), and the Liberal Democrat Front Benchers, gave the impression that they were foremost in bringing this important matter to public attention. Is it actually because of pressure by Labour Back Benchers that our poor constituents will be looked after in this way?
