Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Debate.


Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

I shall press on. I have already given way. In response to the points raised by my hon. Friend the Member for St Ives (Andrew George), I can say that we have already demonstrated our commitment to transparency by publishing data on the distributional impact of the Budget measures, which has never been done before. We are committed to continuing with that level of transparency in future fiscal events, and we will continue to look at whether we can further improve the breadth of information provided. Parliament will, of course, as my hon. Friend requested, continue to have full scrutiny of the Government's decisions, and I hope that the information that we have already provided, and will provide in future, will facilitate that debate.
