Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) 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
As I have said, many of the particular items that disabled people need are zero rated, and that will remain so. I make no claim that everything that disabled people will need is zero rated, however, and I come back to the point I made in earlier debates: the fact is that we face a crisis in the public finances. I suspect that, when the previous Chancellor was looking at this and proposing an increase in VAT, he wrestled with exactly the same issues that we have.
