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


Finance Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that the retrograde step in the totem or red herring of the 50p tax rate was that the Government tried to pander to the audience in portraying all high earners as bankers, when the reality is that most high earners in the north-west, for example, work in industry, manufacturing and wealth-creating businesses? Does he agree that because the Government decided to pander to the gallery, what they did was punish success, thus announcing the end of new Labour?
