Proceeding contribution from Ian Lucas (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 March 2012. It occurred during Budget debate on Amendment of the Law.
Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation
My hon. Friend rightly stresses the importance of VAT. Charities are among the types of business that are affected by a VAT hike. Chariotts in my constituency provides services to disabled people, and it will have to hike its charges by 20%. That will have to be paid by those disabled people, because of the VAT increase that this Government are pursuing. Does my hon. Friend agree that that is a disgrace?
