Proceeding contribution from Chris Huhne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget debate.

Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

The right hon. Gentleman recently accused me of not changing my mind because I wanted office when he suggested in a newspaper interview that our negotiating sessions with the Labour party showed that we had somehow become right wing because we were insisting on cuts in this financial year. He cannot have it both ways: either we accepted the cuts for opportunistic reasons because we wanted office; or we are saying that the facts have changed and we need to move the economy away from the risks of contagion from southern Europe.
