Proceeding contribution from Adam Afriyie (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 February 2007. It occurred during Legislative debate on Social Security.
Social Security
My hon. Friend is making some worthwhile points about retail price inflation, the Rossi measurement and the CPI measurement, and how a particular group, such as the elderly, may not have their household bills reflected by that. Does he share my concern that council tax has risen at such a tremendous rate that, where council tax benefit has not kept up, it is creating a huge trap for some of the least well-off?
