Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

I strongly agree with the point that the hon. Gentleman has just made; such an approach would discredit the wider political process. I remember, however, on that same line of inquiry, that the shadow Chancellor said that he would support a flat-rate tax. In fact, he cited examples in eastern Europe that we should learn from. I presume that that is the kind of imaginative thinking that the hon. Gentleman is talking about. Can he tell us what progress has been made in that regard?
