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
My right hon. Friend puts a very good question and tempting though it is to speculate, I suspect that no particular mitigating proposals had emerged, but perhaps it is not for me to say. The fact is that VAT is one of the few levers available to any Government to raise substantial sums, and that remains the case.
