Proceeding contribution from Anne McGuire (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

With respect, I think that is a very narrow description of disabled people and the extent of their needs. The Exchequer Secretary has adopted a very mechanistic attitude in respect of the goods and services that disabled people need. Did he take any advice from the Government's Office for Disability Issues in assessing the impact of VAT on disabled people?
