Radiological Protection (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Fifth Stage (Resumed) (3 Jul 2014)

Richard Boyd Barrett: I will be brief as it was unfortunate we could not finish this the other day. I characterise the nuclear industry as humanity's self-destruct button. It is a time-bomb that could go off at any stage. Britain is substantially expanding its nuclear power industry and the nuclear arms industry is a major threat. We are still unsure how to handle the transport and disposal of nuclear waste as...

When we call for big programmes of investment in social housing, which would deal with the threat of a property bubble, the...

Other Questions: Tax Code (3 Jul 2014)

Richard Boyd Barrett: That is a fairly standard answer and is fairly non-illuminating. Preparations are being made for the budget and already very harsh measures have been imposed on low and middle income earners among whom there is growing poverty. There is also the growing phenomenon of the working poor and huge numbers of people at the low and middle end have no incentive to work. What incentive do low and...

Other Questions: Tax Code (3 Jul 2014)

Richard Boyd Barrett: We need an honest debate. The bulk of the new burden we propose would be on the 10% or 15% of people on very high earnings.

They have been hammered with the universal social charge, property tax and water charges, which are regressive and disproportionately hit people on low and...
