Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget debate.

Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

I thank the hon. Gentleman for giving way in his an extremely thoughtful speech. Does he not agree that we have to deal with these huge problems because of the structural deficit that we had going into the recession? Does he agree with this quotation:""Public finances must be sustainable over the long term…If they are not, the poor, the elderly, and those on fixed incomes who depend most on public services will suffer most."?—[Official Report, 2 July 1997; Vol. 315, c. 303.]?" They are not my words but those of the right hon. Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath (Mr Brown).
