Proceeding contribution from Thomas Docherty (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

Perhaps my hon. Friend is not aware that the current Prime Minister was a special adviser to the Tory Government that last put up VAT. Does he agree that people such as the Prime Minister revel in using VAT as a way of punishing front-line services like the health service?
