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

Finance Bill

Does my right hon. Friend accept that Labour Members in general fully support the Budget and the direction in which it is going, but that there are 5.3 million workers—including some in my own constituency and that of the Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, my hon. Friend the Member for Wallasey (Angela Eagle)—who are worse off? Before we reach clause 3, as I think we will do next week, I hope that the Government will be able to find their way not to unstitch the Budget—nobody is asking that—but to bring forward specific proposals to ensure that those in work who are on the lowest pay are not made worse off by a Labour Budget.
