Proceeding contribution from Lord Whitehead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget debate.

Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that, if a programme such as that which he envisages is to have any real traction, there is an absolute imperative to defend and increase the almost £200 million that was set aside for the insulation of hard-to-treat homes and social housing? Will he put that in his book as a red line on Government investment in the energy efficiency uprating of social housing? If that investment does not appear, will he publicly underline his opposition to energy efficiency improvement methods that are not underwritten properly by Government funding?
