Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) 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
The fact is that the people who need petrol the most pay the most and can afford it least, whereas those who need it the least pay the least and can afford it most—that is the basic equation. If the Exchequer Secretary does not accept the proposal that my hon. Friend the Member for Argyll and Bute (Mr. Reid) is making, surely it is incumbent on a Government who believe in social justice and good economy to find an alternative way of dealing with that basic problem.
