Proceeding contribution from Lord Bates (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

My Lords, I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way, but on that point is he familiar with the comments made by Alistair Darling on the ““Andrew Marr Show”” on Sunday, when he said that he favoured increasing VAT and not increasing national insurance contributions? Does the noble Lord agree with him?
