Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Geraint Davies (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 March 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

My hon. Friend will know that the number of people earning more than £20,000 has fallen by 800,000 since 2010, and the slack has been taken up by more and more people on low pay and zero-hours contracts. Does he accept that we are facing these draconian cuts because the Government are overseeing a completely unsustainable business model and creating more and more low-paid

people who cannot pay any tax? The revenues are not coming in, which is why they have borrowed more in five years than Labour did in 13.
