Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (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

The 2.5% VAT increase that Government Members will march through the Lobby to support will mean that those individuals, who are receiving disability benefits, will have to pay more money from their own pockets to the Government. I understand the hon. Gentleman's comment, but the point is that more money is being paid by individuals who receive disability benefits because of the decisions of the Liberal Democrats and the Conservatives.
