Proceeding contribution from Lord Bruce of Bennachie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The Labour party is keen on cutting taxes and on opposing cuts in expenditure. Consequently, it would widen the deficit, which is already at record levels. The consequence of that would be an increase in interest rates. Does the right hon. Gentleman not think that the retail trade and consumers would be more concerned about an increase in interest rates than a rise in VAT?
