Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) 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

I will start by saying that I entirely support the growth orientation of the Budget, which is much better than everything we have heard for the past 10 years, but I hope my right hon. Friend will forgive me for raising a narrow issue, because 90% of the effect of one of his tax changes falls in and around my constituency—the VAT change on the production of static caravans. That will have an impact which, he says in his own Red Book, is £40 million positive, but the cost in unemployment will be £45 million negative. Will he review this issue?
