Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I was rather hoping that the hon. Member for Macclesfield (Sir Nicholas Winterton) might intervene in this debate on behalf of manufacturing and challenge those on his Front Bench, because the Engineering Employers Federation, on behalf of UK manufacturing, has described the proposal that the hon. Member for South-West Hertfordshire (Mr. Gauke) has just outlined to us—albeit perhaps not in as much detail as it would have been interesting to hear from him—as a "disaster". And so it would be, because the investment allowances that support manufacturing are crucial. It would be quite wrong to abolish them.
