Proceeding contribution from Ian Swales (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
Well, £4,000 extra VAT is obviously one way that they are contributing as a result of this Government's policies. The hon. Member for Nottingham East (Chris Leslie) said in the previous debate that the important focus of the tax and benefit system is on need and alleviation of poverty. I believe that VAT increases, which impact on the wealthy more than on the poor, are a good way of doing that.
