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

Finance Bill

Is the situation not ironic whenever the Government foul up? I can only think that the impact of the 10p abolition on that group of pensioners was a foul-up, as the Minister has still not answered my earlier question. Was it a deliberate policy, and did the Government think that the loss to that group of very poor people of an average of £2 a week meant, in the Minister's words, ““Just a modest amount””, or does my hon. Friend believe that the Government fouled up and are now, as usual, looking to us to try to sort out their mess?
