Proceeding contribution from Baroness Browning (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Budget debate on Amendment of the law.

Amendment of the law

I am sorry to take the hon. Lady away from Boris, but could I bring her back to inheritance tax? We have repeatedly heard from Ministers this afternoon about the £1 billion that the Conservatives would spend on inheritance tax, but if she looks in her Red Book she will see that on the back of the announcement that her Government made following the Conservative party conference, in which they set out their own change to inheritance tax, tax revenues and receipts to the Treasury have exceeded £1 billion. That is the result of her party's policy.
