Capital Gains Tax (Rates)

Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Debate.
Oh dear me; there is no stopping Labour Members sometimes. I must say to the hon. Lady: whose fault is that? The Labour Government slashed the building programme, so Labour Members have only themselves to blame. Everyone warned them about the problem for years. As far as we possibly can, we need to ensure that the houses that people occupy are of the size that they need. We should not have elderly people trapped in houses that are far too large for them and that they cannot look after. Only the most expensive areas will be affected by the cap.
