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


Value Added Tax

I shall join the Government in the Lobby tonight, but I am concerned about the increase in excise duty on alcohol, which will adversely affect Marston's brewery in my constituency. I am also concerned about the constitutional propriety of putting up taxes such as excise duty without this House's voting on them first. What is the constitutional legal position on that?
