East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has voted against a cut in the top rate of income tax from 50p to 45p. Sammy Wilson said it was wrong to give a tax cut to the richest in the country when lower paid workers are still struggling.
Speaking during the debate in the House of Commons on the issue, during which he said that the Treasury will forgo over £14billion in the next four years because of this tax cut, Sammy Wilson said:
East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has said that he was surprised to find out that the Treasury did not set regional targets for Project Merlin, the agreement between the Government and the main banks which was meant to increase lending, especially to small businesses. Mr Wilson uncovered the information in a Parliamentary Question to the Treasury.
Sammy Wilson said:
“I find it strange that no regional targets were set for Project Merlin. Surely the Government should have been concerned not only about nationwide lending increases, but increases in lending right across and in every region of the country.
Sammy Wilson: Let me make it clear that my party is not a party of high taxation. We do not wish to see people squeezed until the pips squeak and we are not ideologically committed to high taxation.
Michael Ellis: Are you sure?
East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has welcomed steps made by Carrickfergus Library to support students by means of providing material to help them in preparation for GCSE and A Level examinations.
Sammy Wilson said:
“As we approach exam time we know that many young people will be concerned about their exams and will be trying to revise to ensure they do the best that they can. I am pleased that Carrickfergus Library is offering students revision guides based on the curriculum which will be of great use to them. Not only do these assist greatly in preparation for exams but they can be expensive and so it is especially helpful that they can be borrowed for free.”
East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has said that the recent debate over whether the Irish tricolour should be flown at Parliament Buildings, Stormont is evidence that Sinn Fein’s United Ireland Strategy is failing.
Sammy Wilson said:
“It is becoming clear to everyone that Northern Ireland’s place within the United Kingdom is secure. Within both the Protestant and Roman Catholic communities there is for the first time majority support for the current constitutional arrangements.
East Antrim MP Sammy Wilson has said that computer models and their predictions about global warming are proving, once more, to be wrong.
Sammy Wilson was speaking following the publication of an article by Professor William Happer, a professor of physics at Princeton University, in which he states that computer models from organisations such as the IPCC assume that CO2 is responsible for warming and this is causing their inaccuracy.
Sammy Wilson said:
“If we actually look at the facts we can see that there has been very little change in global temperatures in the last ten years. There has been no statistically significant warming in over a decade.
