Proceeding contribution from Lord Sarwar (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 find that argument bizarre, as it runs so strongly against the very argument the Liberal Democrats used in the general election campaign, when there were big billboards describing the £389 bombshell. If that was going to affect people's household budgets, I assure the hon. Gentleman that this VAT increase will also affect them, so I believe that the RPI/CPI argument is irrelevant.
