Proceeding contribution from David Clelland (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 December 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

In tackling climate change, will my right hon. Friend look at what seems to be a nonsensical position whereby employees who are given travel concessions by their employer to use public transport have that taxed as a benefit, whereas the provision of free car-parking places at places of work is not taxed in that way? Will he look at the anomaly that has arisen as a result of the otherwise welcome increase in the minimum wage, whereby many working carers are losing up to £46 a week because the minimum wage has taken them marginally above the £84 earnings threshold?
