Proceeding contribution from Alun Michael (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

I dare say the hon. Gentleman feels obliged to make some party political points, but would he not acknowledge that the creation and expansion of gift aid gave a massive boost to the charitable and voluntary sector over many years, and that that is just one of a large number of issues that the previous Government did address? It is his Government who are responsible for the fresh burden placed on this sector by the Budget, so why does he not find it unacceptable?
