Proceeding contribution from David Burrowes (Conservative) 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

Not being so new to the House, I am aware, obviously, of the reports today in The Times revealing that the shadow Chancellor was wishing to increase VAT to 18%. Can the right hon. Gentleman confirm, in relation to the pre-Budget report stage in November, whether, if the shadow Chancellor had had his way to increase VAT to that level, a report such as the one that is proposed in amendment 46 would have come to pass?
