Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Pauline Latham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

Does my hon. Friend agree that this tax is very unfair because it is not about the equality of sexes? The tax is not equal because men do not need any of these products. If we had thought at the very beginning that this would impact on women only, I am sure people would have thought much harder about putting tax on sanitary products, which every woman, mainly, needs for a long period in their life. It is not fair.
