Proceeding contribution from Anne McGuire (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

Would my right hon. Friend care to put on the record how many times a Labour Government increased VAT? Would he like to remind the House that a Labour Government reduced VAT on two occasions: first, when we came to power, when we reduced it on utility bills; and secondly, when we did so as part of our fiscal easing during the current recession?
