Proceeding contribution from Anne Main (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

Is the Chancellor seriously telling us that when we can get 20, 40, 70 per cent. off on the high street, and when there are buy one, get one free offers on houses and cars, the average hard-working family has simply been waiting for a 2.5 per cent. cut in VAT to press ahead and spend money it has not got? I do not think so.
