Proceeding contribution from James Plaskitt (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Value Added Tax.


Value Added Tax

I thank the hon. Gentleman for taking a further intervention. Does he not see a problem with fairness in his argument? Half of pensioner households already do not pay income tax. The VAT reduction is worth £150 a year to them. Why is he against a £150 tax break for pensioner households?
