Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

The Chief Secretary has talked a great deal about tax increases for people on high incomes. One might get the impression from what she has said so far that there were no tax increases for people on ordinary incomes, whereas more than half the tax increases announced in this Budget for this year will fall on ordinary people, not on those on higher incomes. As she is so interested in the Opposition's policies, let me tell her, for her information, that our priority will be cutting Labour's taxes on jobs—the increase in national insurance contributions that will affect everybody who is earning more than £20,000 a year.
