Proceeding contribution from Stephen Williams (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

My happiness or unhappiness will be measured in 2015 when we go to the polls—perhaps after the polls—by which time, hopefully, many more people will have been taken out of income tax completely because the threshold will have gone up to £10,000, and capital gains tax will have been made fairer. A mix of proposals has been put forward, so the rise in VAT will be more than compensated for by the other measures both in this Budget, where an important start has been made, and in Budgets to come.
