Proceeding contribution from Russell Brown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Further to the point made by the hon. Member for Montgomeryshire (Lembit Öpik), households generally have a finite amount of money to spend. The argument may come from the Front Bench this evening that although additional income for the Treasury could be achieved through the increase in VAT, other sources of income are falling. There is great support on both sides of the House for the fuel duty regulator, but can the hon. Member for Dundee, East (Stewart Hosie) tell the House honestly that the figures add up, because that is vital?
