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 will not give way. The irresponsible Opposition, when in government, caused many of the problems that we face today. We have heard accusations from them today that the measures we announced in the Budget are unfair. Let me test that accusation. The previous Government uprated pensions by 75p. That is not fairness. We have reintroduced the earnings link as our first action—that is fairness.
