Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 April 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 2) Bill.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

After the mess we inherited, how do we ensure that we build up the economy and get the sustainable growth that will increase living standards? The answer is set out in this Finance Bill.

It is worth pointing out the measures in the Bill that the Labour party will vote against this evening. There is the annual investment allowance, which will help

manufacturing and other businesses up and down the country. It means that nearly 5 million businesses will get 100% relief on capital expenditure. That was welcomed by the hon. Member for Houghton and Sunderland South. Labour Members will vote against that. There are the reforms to R and D tax credits, which will help businesses to start up. [Interruption.]
