Finance Bill

Debate between Shabana Mahmood and Iain McKenzie

Tuesday 1st July 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Iain McKenzie (Inverclyde) (Lab)]

Does my hon. Friend agree that by accepting the new clause, the Government would give weight to their often recited argument that the broadest shoulders should bear the greatest burden? The new clause would put the burden on the shoulders best able to bear it.

[Shabana Mahmood]

My hon. Friend makes a good contribution, which I agree with.
