Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on The Economy.
The Economy
I take a cue from the Conservative shadow Chancellor’s comment about tax treatment. The logical course would be to withdraw interest relief. I do not know whether the Conservatives would go to such radical lengths, but that would be the solution, as well as the capital gains treatment, which is still favourable. I want now to move on to the Conservatives’ core criticism, which is at the heart of their economic strategy: the worry about public debt.
