Proceeding contribution from Lord Deben (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The Minister said that the Government had always recognised that the tax should be both environmental and revenue-raising. This measure is very damaging to the environment. The public will accept green taxes if they really are green taxes, and if they are clearly connected with green activities. If they are merely means for the Treasury to raise money, the public will think that they are frauds.
