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)

May I just point out to the hon. Gentleman that, when his party was last in government, it was not children who were not in education, employment or training? In Birkenhead, the city in which I was born—admittedly, I have not lived there for a very long time—there were men who were entirely fit, healthy and capable of work, but the only way for them to earn a living was to pick over the rubbish dumps to see if they could find anything to sell.
