Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Bruce of Bennachie (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Tuesday, 13 July 2010 on behalf of the Treasury.


Income Tax

Question
I am very grateful to the Minister for that informative answer. Can he give a more precise timetable for when the £10,000 threshold will be released? Will it be before the end of this Parliament? In other words, can it be even earlier than the five years that would otherwise be required?
Answer

I cannot give a precise timetable, but as I said, that is our long-term objective. I know that the right hon. Gentleman has a long and distinguished record in campaigning for that policy. I am sure that he will be pleased with the steps that we have taken so far, and I hope that others will follow.
