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

Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

There are clearly no poor people left in Southwark—certainly none on housing benefit, or the hon. Member for Bermondsey and Old Southwark (Simon Hughes) would not have the temerity to support the Budget. However, there are poor people in Hammersmith, Islington, Westminster and Kensington, so does my right hon. Friend agree not only that it is wrong to force thousands of families out of London, but that such measures will do nothing to get people into jobs, nothing for family break-up figures and nothing for community cohesion in London?
