Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

I am a Government Back Bencher who is not massively enthusiastic about the reduction in the top rate; I think that the Laffer curve peak would be at a higher rate than is thought. However, will the Minister comment on the fact that the Labour party seems to have forgotten that it did nothing to close the transparent fiddles, which are so resented, when people have paid 1% or 2% in tax? Those transparent fiddles have been around for years and Labour did nothing to close those gaps.
