Clause 102 - Landfill tax: rate
Finance Bill
4:45 pm
Mr Stephen Timms (Financial Secretary, HM Treasury; East Ham, Labour)
The hon. Gentleman recently told the House:
``I was not in Parliament to vote for the landfill tax and I would not have voted for it if I had been.''—[Official Report, 23 April 2001; Vol. 366, c. 83.]
Can we infer from that that the Conservative party would reduce or abolish the landfill tax were there to be a Conservative Government after the forthcoming election?
