Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 April 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

My hon. Friend comes from Somerset and her parents are constituents of mine. For both those reasons, she is invariably right and on this occasion particularly so. There is no money tree. It has to come from the success of businesses. It is a matter of balance. The hon. Member for Stalybridge and Hyde (Jonathan Reynolds) wishes to get away from that balance, but it had to be done at the right rate to ensure the least economic problems as taxes were raised and expenditure cut. That has been achieved.
