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
The right hon. Gentleman is talking about the election campaign and what was said about VAT. Does he accept that during the televised Chancellors' debate the Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat spokespeople refused to rule out any future rise in VAT, and the then Labour Chancellor, we learn from Lord Mandelson's memoirs, was planning to raise VAT to 19% in any event?
