Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (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 agree very much with what my hon. Friend is saying. I have visited my local bingo club and listened to its case. This is portrayed as a tax on companies, but in fact is it not, effectively, a regressive form of taxation on people on moderate and low incomes? The Government rightly want to raise more tax to cover their current problems, but that should be done in a progressive manner, by taxing the better off rather than the poor.
