In april 2010, i agreed with the Prime Minister and nick that vat was a regressive tax. Indeed the Prime Minister went further and said that it was far more regressive than income tax. He then went on to break his pledge to the british people and hiked vat to 20 . Can i give him an opportunity to restore his credibility on vat and ask him to rule it out completely to pay for any future income tax cuts . Well our plans involve not up any taxes. What they involve is growing our economy and creating jobs. I am sure i will be p

Recording artists and singer song writers who do value pandora because it is the only outlet, the only Distribution Platform available for them to find an audience that loves their music. Ms. Cash .

That may or may not be true but the point still remains we dont have control over those copyrights and we are not paid fair compensation, we are not paid fair market rates. As i said before, theres no transparency about this. Its somewhat manipulative. And i feel that we end up subsidizing these multibillion dollar companies. They use our music as Something Like a loss leader to draw people in and then they make the money. And to confirm what mr.

Director of communications. What actions did he take. As i said a moment ago, the assurances that i received were the same that i received by the press complaints commission, by police investigations. They were also thoroughly gone into by the levison inquiry, an inquiry i supported. Specifically he talks about warnings specifically on the warning from the guardian. Levison said this. The editor of the guardian did not raise the issue with mr. Cameron at meetings both in the month after the article was published and the following year. He says this. He says this. Honorable members want to hear. There can be no criticism of mr. Cameron for not raising the issue. We had an exhaustive inquiry. I know he didnt like the result of the inquiry but he should accept it. Mr. Speaker, that is a lo longwinded way of saying when it come to couldon, he didnt want to know the evidence.
