Proceeding contribution from Lord Wills (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill.

Constitutional Reform and Governance Bill

I am not quite sure what the hon. Gentleman's problem is with being forced to pay tax. I think we could find very few people who actually want to pay tax. Most people accept it as a price of citizenship, and most of us do so willingly and happily. However, the idea is that we have laws in this country—[Interruption.] The hon. Gentleman can listen to the argument or not, as he wishes. I listened to him at great length, and he might at least do me the courtesy of trying to appreciate my argument.
