Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) 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

My hon. Friend was making an important point, and she is absolutely right. We also said very clearly that more than half of the £19 billion in taxes that we proposed to raise—a measure not completely different from the figure that the Government are seeking to raise—should be paid for by the top 2% of earners. I have not yet seen a similar analysis produced by the Government.
