Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I have no doubt that the people in the Treasury feel that they are carrying out their work with a degree of objectivity. Perhaps one person's objectivity is not another person's, but the hon. Gentleman has made his point. The proposal sounds to me like the sort of policy that it is more typical of Opposition parties than of governing parties to devise, but it is not necessarily the worse for that.
