Proceeding contribution from Jo Swinson (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
May I complete the picture presented by the hon. Member for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Mr MacNeil)? While it is certainly true that the overall deficit has fallen somewhat, the structural deficit—the bit that we really need to worry about—is in fact £12 billion higher than was anticipated. Incidentally, that is about the same amount that will be raised by the VAT increase.
