motion: <p class="indent" pid="c77.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;I&#8217;m straight, I&#8217;m honest with people: I&#8217;m a Marxist&#8221;?</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c83.0/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;So the last shall be first, and the first last&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c98.0/10" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;all double taxation treaties should permit gains on the direct and indirect disposal of UK immovable property to be taxed in the UK.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c103.2/7" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;being so positive about the future opportunities&#8221;.</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c110.6/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;I would&#8230;describe the lack of progress towards a modernised and reliable transPennine rail route as more than disappointing, given that it is an essential investment for future economic growth in the north.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c126.1/2" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;that this regulation is all necessary. They seem to believe that without it banks could steal our money, bakers would put nails in our bread&#8230;and builders would construct houses that fell down when the wind blew.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="c132.0/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;this House declines to give a Second Reading to the Finance (No. 2) Bill because it contains no measures to address the fact that the UK has the slowest economic growth in the G7 while the IFS warns of two decades of lost earnings growth, it fails to reverse the Government&#8217;s 2015 Bank Levy cut resulting in &#163;4.7bn less in tax revenue from banks over five years and contains measures to further limit the scope of the Bank Levy resulting in a further fall in revenue, whilst at the same time crucial services that many children and families across the country desperately rely on are at risk due to seven years of budget cuts, it proposes a stamp duty cut that, according to the analysis of the OBR, will increase house prices, instead of helping to address the housing crisis through measures to build more affordable homes, it proposes policies without the benefit of an adequate Equalities Impact Assessment, it arises from a Budget which made no provision for lifting the public sector pay cap or addressing the funding crisis in social care and the NHS, it includes no measures properly to tackle tax avoidance and evasion and it is not based on an amendment of the law resolution, thus restricting the scope of amendments and reducing the House&#8217;s ability to properly scrutinise and improve the Bill.&#8221;&#8212;(Anneliese Dodds.)</p>
