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

Does the hon. Gentleman accept as an authoritative commentator on the effects of VAT the Office for National Statistics, which indicated that the impact on the poorest 10% is significantly greater than the impact on the richest 10%? Is that just some piece of frippery to be thrown to one side and not to be acknowledged by a Liberal Democrat party that is somewhat embarrassed to be supporting an increase in VAT?
