Proceeding contribution from Glenda Jackson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Debate.
Capital Gains Tax (Rates)
The Secretary of State cited a four-bedroom house in the private sector. My constituency is served by two local authorities, and in Brent the medium price for a four-bedroom house is £450 a week. In Camden the medium price is £1,020 a week. Currently, 42% of people claiming housing benefit in Brent and 18% of people doing so in Camden are in the private rented sector. That represents a sizeable number of families who will clearly lose their homes under the current Government.
