Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Debate.


Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

The worst statistic of all is that last year, of the 85,000 children in receipt of free school meals, whom we should be helping more, only 45 got into Oxbridge, which is fewer than those who came from just one school—that attended by the Leader of the Opposition. That is the true demerit of what we have been creating in the past 13 years.
