Stamp Duty Land Tax

Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 December 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Stamp Duty Land Tax.

As my hon. Friend has raised that point, I will make this observation. Labour says that more money should be raised from properties worth more than £2 million. In 2015-16, this measure will raise more than £300 million from such properties. Obviously, that is a useful sum for the Exchequer, but if the view is that Labour wants to raise £1.2 billion from the mansion tax on those properties, will it drop that figure down to £900 million? That is a question that the hon. Gentleman will no doubt be seeking to respond to later.
