Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Does my hon. Friend share my astonishment at the previous intervention? If the proposal to impose that VAT rate had never been made, there would have been no need for consultation or listening—and it would have been far better to have consulted first. What happened to the notion of a proper pre-Budget report, where suggestions could have been made in general terms and then we could have had a consultation? We all sat here listening to a very strong defence of the original proposals only a few months ago.
