Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 November 2008. It occurred during Emergency debate on Pre-Budget Report.

He told the Labour party conference that in his first speech as Chancellor, and, indeed, he told the Labour party in 2000 that"““tax cuts before the election lead to…rises just after.””" That is exactly what he is planning: temporary tax giveaways and lifetime rises in tax afterwards.
