Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Debate.
Does my right hon. Friend agree that although the welfare state is obviously necessary to protect the poor and vulnerable, it has often acted as a disincentive for people to go from being out of work to work? I know that from my constituency. Will he ensure that over the next few weeks, when we consult on the future of the welfare state, all the relevant charities, agencies and local councils, which are very knowledgeable about such things, are fully involved so that the outcome is informed by the facts and not by prejudice?
