Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.

The Economy

I will in a moment. That is important, because it is vital that we help businesses. For example, 100,000 businesses have already benefited from the extra time we have given them to pay taxes. We have also helped small companies by postponing the increase in corporation tax. It is very important that we do help businesses and I want to set out a little more of what we propose, but, before I do so, I give way to my hon. Friend the Member for South Thanet (Dr. Ladyman).
