Tax Credits

Debate between David T C Davies and Liam Fox

Tuesday 27th October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Dr Liam Fox (North Somerset) (Con)]

On a point of order, Mr Speaker. Across the House there is a great deal of genuine concern about the implications of the events in the unelected Chamber last night, and many of us would welcome your initial view on the constitutional implications of that. Many of us believe that those with no accountability for taxation have a moral duty not to vote on such issues, and many of us would go further and believe that it is a bit rich to question, for example, the democratic deficit in the European Union when we have an unelected and appointed Chamber as part of our own legislature.

[David T. C. Davies (Monmouth) (Con)]
