Scotland Bill

Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 21 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Scotland Bill.
The hon. Gentleman is presenting the Laffer curve argument. He suggests that a corporation tax cut could pay for itself. As he knows, I support that idea and am looking at what the Government are doing in that connection. It is not altogether surprising that there are advantages in reducing corporation tax, but, initially at the very least, it comes at a cost. We had to put that in the Red Book. Does he believe that there would be no cost, or does he believe that the tax cuts would immediately pay for themselves?
