Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 April 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

We have set out the figures. Four out of five households will be better off or see no change. One in five will pay more as a result of this year's personal tax package, but that does not take into account measures such as the extra given on the winter fuel package or the increases to the minimum wage. For example, the increases to the minimum wage over the past two years alone are worth about £13 a week to those on the lowest pay. We want to do more to help many of those who will not benefit from this year's package and we have already been working to achieve that.
