HC Deb 23 June 2003 vol 407 c723
Mr. Eric Forth (Bromley and Chislehurst)

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker. Have you been approached today by any Minister seeking to clarify the position on tax? Since the astonishing revelations by the tax-raising Leader of the House and the statements by the right hon. Members for Hartlepool (Mr. Mandelson) and for Tyneside, North (Mr. Byers), have you had any request from a member of the Government to clear up this very important matter, as it now appears that there is a secret agenda to raise tax among members of the Government?

Mr. Speaker

Perhaps that is something that the right hon. Gentleman can raise in business questions.
