Developing Country Debt (Restriction of Recovery): Finance Bill (6 May 2009) has video

Developing Country Debt (Restriction of Recovery): Finance Bill (6 May 2009) has video

John Redwood: ...it? Will people not either do less or go somewhere else to work hard where the Government do not take so much money? The Government's proposed increases in taxes on doing things, such as drinking, smoking and so on, and on larger vehicles are in conflict with their wider statement about their wish to have a reflationary Budget. If the Budget were genuinely about reflation, surely it would...

Mr John Redwood: ...to say nice things about the hon. Gentleman, but not after that calumny. Does he agree that it is odd that the Government want to boss us all around to stop us having tooth decay, but they allow smoking?

Orders of the Day — Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (10 Mar 1999)

Mr John Redwood: I rise to oppose this Budget—a Budget of smoke and mirrors, a Budget with many a sting in the small print and a Budget which announced a little good news and left out a lot of bad news, which came in the press releases that followed. This is the third Budget of this Chancellor and this Government: third time unlucky for many. It is third time unlucky for motorists, for small business...

Orders of the Day — Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation (10 Mar 1999)

Mr John Redwood: ...many jobs and much income depend. The Government conjure up an image of a future Britain as a province of Europe fit for spin doctors to practise in. Our vision of reality will be distorted not by smoke from the factory chimney, but by the smoke in our eyes from the lobbyists, public relations professionals and high-tech wizards who surround the new Labour project.

Mr John Redwood: ...filled on the firm, but if he had to go out and fill his own tank he would find out. He is lucky that we no longer hear about the price of a gallon, because he has put that up by a massive 40p. I am told by those who smoke that last May a packet of 20 cigarettes cost around £2.95. Today, it costs £3.35. Again, that is all the Chancellor's own work. Today, a young person saving...
