    "content": "I want to consider the poor. If you go to the constituencies, you will find very many people cannot afford food for supper or lunch. I want to request all hon. Members that as we go through this Bill, let us not just think about ourselves. I thank the hon. Member who has just said that when you go out there and into our bedrooms, although he has never been to my bedroom--- I do not know how he came to know that my bedroom has a net. You have posh and nice houses and everything that you require. However, poor people do not have what they require. They do not have even food to put on the table. Sometimes we say that sugar is zero-rated but that is different sugar from that in the shops. This is because our people know the sugar that they go and buy from the shops. So, let us be serious as we handle this VAT Bill. Let us also consider the people who voted for us, who are suffering out there and do not have money to go to hospital."
