Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Heath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.
Is that not what makes the Government's decision to tax bingo more than other forms of gambling so odd? If their purpose is the suppression of vice, bingo is an odd target, as I am not aware of there being any particular links with organised crime, whereas if the purpose is to increase revenue, it is likely to have the opposite effect because of the consequent reduction in the size of the industry.
