Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 December 2008. It occurred during Legislative debate on Value Added Tax.
Value Added Tax
I do not quite agree with my hon. Friend on that. The point made by the hon. Member for Wolverhampton, South-West (Rob Marris) is right: the only protection for our constituents against an over-mighty Executive and their taking decisions on the hop is that those decisions, particularly when they pertain to tax, have to come before this House so that Members, who have to go back to their constituents and hope to be re-elected, can scrutinise those decisions before they are made. The hon. Gentleman is right to say this is a serious issue.
