Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.
Is not the answer very straightforward? Is not the answer that the Budget depresses growth so much that tax receipts will actually be down, so even though the scorecard sets out a series of measures that should, in theory, raise the amount that it sets out, the OBR, understandably, knowing that growth is depressed, has set out that far less money will actually come through?
