Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 13 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I shall take up the Exchequer Secretary's offer and her suggestion about others with whom I might make contact. I think that our poorer constituents accept that the Government need to raise revenue, and that they raise it from drivers in different ways. However, their plea is that we take account of the total impact of all the levies that we impose on drivers when we consider the distributional effect. We hope that we will not have a Government who are not green-minded, as my hon. Friend describes this Government to be.
