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


Finance Bill

I fully accept that the amendment relates to siblings, but as the Economic Secretary raises the point about inheritance tax being an issue only for the very wealthy, can she explain why the centrepiece of the Government's pre-Budget report last October, in the run-up to a potential general election, was changes to inheritance tax?
