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

Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

I rise in part to respond to the hon. Member for Spelthorne (Kwasi Kwarteng), because it was not my hon. Friend the Member for Streatham (Mr Umunna) who suggested that riots would return to the streets of Britain; it was the Deputy Prime Minister, who said just a few weeks before the general election that the scale of cuts foreseen at the time would result in civic society breaking down in this country. Is the hon. Gentleman suggesting that the Deputy Prime Minister is mistaken?
