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)

In fact, as the right hon. Gentleman will be aware, the additional support that we have put in to help the unemployed has kept unemployment at about half the level of previous recessions and nearly 750,000 lower than it was predicted. That in itself is likely to save more than £15 billion over the next five years. We believe that the right way to do welfare reform is help people into work, not just to slash the support for the most vulnerable people in society.
