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


The Economy

The hon. Gentleman suggests ending the VAT reduction nine months early. Surely one of the big problems with the temporary reduction was the disruption that it caused businesses, which had to change prices without any warning. Is there not a danger that that disruption would simply be multiplied by giving them very short notice of a further change?
