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)

Perhaps the right hon. Gentleman can answer this point as well if he is going to respond. Was it his idea, or was it the Treasury's, to tell someone who is severely disabled and really cannot work, "We're going to cut the value of support over the next five years by £300 a year"? If he could answer those points, that would be very welcome.
