Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Robert Courts (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 December 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

My hon. Friend makes an extremely good point that we have not heard often enough. We should absolutely keep making the point that although we hear talk of a progressive tax system from the Opposition, we see action from the Government. The 1% of highest earners now pay 28% of tax. That proportion is higher than it ever was under Labour. That is a record to be proud of. It is real progressive, practical politics from the Conservative Government.
