Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance (No. 4) Bill (Clauses 1, 4, 8, 189 and 209, Schedules 1, 23 and 33, and new Clauses and new Schedules relating to value added tax).


(Clauses 1, 4, 8, 189 and 209, Schedules 1, 23 and 33, and new Clauses and new Schedules relating to value added tax)

Does my hon. Friend recall the former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair saying back in 1997, ““Elect us and we will destroy the private pensions system on which you rely for your retirement with a £150 billion impost””? I do not recall anything of that nature appearing in the Labour party's manifesto.
