Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
I have great respect for the right hon. Gentleman, and he deserves credit for keeping this issue before the House and forcing the Government's hand, but he is a little disingenuous when he says that we did not expect the Government to act until the pre-Budget report and how wonderful it was that they suddenly decided to act in May. They acted in May because their opinion poll ratings were falling through the floor and they were losing a by-election.
