Proceeding contribution from Alison McGovern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 2) Bill.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

I feel moved to defend myself. The point is that a VAT reduction would give the economy an immediate boost and signal temporary Government action to get us through. I believe that the hon. Gentleman is wrong about the impact of VAT cuts, but if he knows of some statistics or evidence I would be very happy to hear it.
