Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Debate.

Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

Will the Secretary of State confirm that his timetable is the one that we proposed for the roll-out of the work capability assessment, and that it is expected to save about £1.5 billion over the next five years? Does he plan to make additional savings, and if so, where? The briefing that was in the papers today will have caused concern to people. Will the Secretary of State also tell us whether he will implement the small amendments to the work capability assessment that we announced just before the election in response to points raised by the citizens advice bureaux?
