Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
Does the right hon. Lady agree that the best way to deal with inequality in relation to wealth is not necessarily through the measures in the Bill—she has already expressed her concerns about those—but to have policies to improve equality of opportunity and the taxation policies to redistribute wealth? Will she comment on whether she has any tax proposals, other than that on inheritance tax, that would tackle the problem more effectively than the Government have done? As she has rightly said, things have become more unequal under this Government.
